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

We promote cultures, encourage dialogue between peoples and help shape public policy to reflect urban Indigenous lived experience.
