First Nations Land Management Act

The First Nations Land Management Act is a Canadian law that allows Indigenous communities to take control of their land and resources through a custom land management system. Instead of the federal government managing their land, First Nations can develop their own laws and policies to govern land use, planning, and development. This act aims to promote economic growth, preserve cultural values, and strengthen self-determination, enabling communities to make decisions that best suit their unique needs and priorities.
