Rooted in urban Indigenous realities
We recognize the rights of First Nations and Inuit in cities. We support their initiatives and amplify their voices.
Specific support for the urban Indigenous presence
Today, a majority of Indigenous people live in urban areas. That’s why the Quebec Native Friendship Centre Movement provides contextually adapted services rooted in the cultural and social realities of the First Peoples.
We promote cultures, encourage dialogue between peoples and help shape public policy to reflect urban Indigenous lived experience.
