FNU becomes key resource for National Indigenous Economic Strategy for Canada

The First Nations University of Canada has become a key resource for the National Indigenous Economic Strategy for Canada (NIES). The NIES was produced by a coalition of over 25 National Indigenous Organizations. It outlines four strategic pathways regarding People, Lands, Infrastructure, and Finance, and makes 107 Calls to Economic Prosperity. FNU will house the institute for National Indigenous Economic Strategy 2022-related work and will track implementation of the calls to Indigenous economic prosperity. “We have long recognized the importance of Indigenous peoples fully participating and leading in the national, provincial, and regional economies across Canada,” said FNU President Jacqueline Ottmann. “Our Indigenous scholars and researchers will be fully supporting the Strategy.” Nation Talk Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
