First Nations-led initiatives

First Nations-led initiatives are programs and projects directed and managed by Indigenous communities themselves. These initiatives focus on issues like health, education, culture, and economic development, prioritizing Indigenous perspectives and priorities. By leading these efforts, First Nations maintain control over decisions that affect their communities, promote self-determination, and work towards reversing historical disadvantages. Such initiatives empower Indigenous peoples to shape their futures, preserve their traditions, and ensure sustainable growth aligned with their values and needs.
