Governing within the confines of the Indian Act is limiting. It has been a huge deterrent for success in First Nations communities for more than 150 years.
Over the past three years, the federal government has ambitiously engaged with First Nations leaders and people about self-determination and moving beyond the Indian Act. However, the process for First Nations to disengage from the Indian Act is complex, can take many different paths, and will need to be unique for each First Nation’s current situation and ongoing aspirations.
At the same time, resolving outstanding claims provides First Nations with the opportunity to take control of their economic futures and can provide the economic platform to better achieve self-determination. The workshop will provide updates on specific claims across Canada and discuss the path to successful specific claim agreements.
We invite you to a workshop for leadership and senior technicians for a step-by-step overview on how to focus the process of self-determination for your community.
