Welcome to the new and improved FNIGC.ca. The first major overhaul of our online presence in more than seven years, our new look and feel represents months of planning, consultation, and creative collaboration about how we could best serve our many First Nations partners, as well as many other users, including researchers, policy makers, educators, and learners across Canada.
Since FNIGC was established as a stand-alone entity in 2010, our work has evolved to encompass three national surveys of First Nations people living on-reserve and in northern communities, which have yielded numerous survey reports; research initiatives that align with First Nations values and priorities; many publications and other knowledge translation and outreach efforts; strategic partnerships at national, regional, and community levels; and ambitious capacity building activities – all to support our efforts to fulfill the vision that every First Nation will achieve data sovereignty in alignment with its distinct world view.
We have designed the new website to highlight this work, while also enhancing access to data for communities and to our many publications. This website is accessible to First Nations visitors wherever they reside and includes a version that is optimized for those with a variety of internet connections.
I encourage you to explore the site and also return regularly as we will be adding new content that represents our renewed commitment to Knowledge Translation.
