How will bringing the FNI’s members under the Indian Act benefit the Mi’kmaq of the province?
This tailor made for Newfoundland approach will improve the quality of life and economic prospects of the members of the FNI. This solution supports existing land use and residency patterns, avoiding any dislocation of FNI members from their existing communities. As well, it provides equitable access to federal programs and services designed for First Nations people in Canada while building a strong foundation for Mi’kmaq cultural growth and development.
