What does the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development do?
Our Department, which is more commonly known as Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, is one of many departments within the federal government that are responsible for maintaining Canada’s special relationship with the Aboriginal peoples in this country, as well as Canadians who live in the North. We work with our many different partners in communities across Canada to build a future in which First Nations, Inuit, Métis and northern communities are healthy, safe, self-sufficient and prosperous places in which to live.
