Mr. Joseph Troy Lutz is Wolastoqey on Wabanaki unceded Territory.

In 1999 the Wolastoqey and Mi'kmaq won the Marshall decision. This meant fishing, hunting, and harvesting timber would be allowed to subsist. Thus Mr. Lutz became involved with fisheries and the harvesting of timber. During this time, he also attended economic development meetings and came in contact with a public works & procurement gentleman that educated him on processing contracts for the federal government. After completing a multitude of contracts for the federal government, Troy traveled up west to Alberta. There, he learned the dynamics of indigenous business on a much larger scale while involved with the oil and gas sector. It was also during his adventure to the west, Mr.Lutz officially became an independent indigenous business owner. A career that has been a blessing for his family and himself.

Today Mr.Lutz is considered not only an elder within his community but a pioneer, one whose objective is to be a conduit for the future generation to participate in federal government procurement expenditures.
