First Peoples Policy Forum

The First Peoples Policy Forum brings together Indigenous Peoples, academics, policy-makers, and urban Indigenous leaders to explore some of the most pressing issues facing Indigenous communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. Overall objectives include raising public awareness about the issues that matter to Indigenous people and providing advice to government based on community-driven policy solutions.
