National Indian Brotherhood

The National Indian Brotherhood (NIB) was an organization founded in 1968 to represent First Nations in Canada, advocating for Indigenous rights, social justice, and the improvement of living conditions. It served as a unified voice for Native communities, engaging with government policies and promoting self-determination. The NIB played a significant role in advancing Indigenous issues and laid the groundwork for later organizations like the Assembly of First Nations. Its work helped foster greater awareness and support for Indigenous sovereignty, cultural preservation, and political empowerment across Canada.
