Don’t miss out on important FNMPC report releases and updates of events
Our work in supporting our 144 First Nations members in exploring equity ownership of major projects across Canada is having a measurable impact on Indigenous self-determination on Turtle Island. What is most important to our work, and what FNMPC is driven by, is supporting our First Nations members. For far too long, Indigenous nations in Canada – such as my own Fort Nelson First Nation – have been excluded from economic development on our lands and waters. However, I can see firsthand in my role as chair that we are turning a new leaf in Canada, which the FNMPC is playing a role in.
