Rebuilding First Nations Governance
Rebuilding First Nations Governance (RFNG) is a national alliance of First Nation communities and Tribal Councils, academic researchers and public sector practitioners created to support First Nations leadership and rights holders that have made the decision to transition out from under the Indian Act to their own inherent rights governance. This applied action research project is supported by a $2.5M SSHRC Partnership Grant.

Why is self-government important to First Nations in Canada? For generations, First Nations communities have worked to reclaim authority over their own governance systems, decision-making processes, and community development. In this video, the founders and partners of the Rebuilding First Nations Governance Project discuss the origins of the initiative, the challenges facing First Nations governance, and the importance of rebuilding governance systems that support self-determination.
