First Nations Land Management Act (Canada)

The First Nations Land Management Act (Canada) is a law that allows Indigenous communities to take control over their own land management outside of the Indian Act framework. It enables First Nations to create their own land-use plans, manage resources, and develop their land according to their needs and priorities. By opting into this act, communities can establish regulations on land use and development, fostering economic growth while respecting cultural values. This law is part of broader efforts to enhance Indigenous self-governance and autonomy in Canada.
