It was a pleasure to bring everyone together for Alberta FNIGC’s Annual General Meeting last week!

The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on the promising outcomes of Alberta FNIGC’s work and celebrate the progress we continue to make in supporting First Nations research, and advancing data sovereignty for First Nations in Alberta.

Your engagement and support help strengthen this important work and contribute to a future where First Nations have the knowledge, tools, and capacity to make informed decisions about their own data.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to building on this important work together.

If you attended the meeting, we would appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete our survey evaluation:

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never came home, and acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonialism on Indigenous Peoples.

It’s a day for reflection, learning, and meaningful action towards healing.

As we continue the journey of truth-telling, let’s work together to ensure the voices of our ancestors are heard, and the strength of our communities is recognized.

Note: Our offices will be closed on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We will reopen on Thursday, October 1, 2026.

What meaning does the buffalo have for you?

The buffalo has long been a symbol of sustenance, providing everything from food to shelter for First Nations. Similarly, our data embodies the essence of our communities, such as our stories, traditions, and unique identity.

Just as the buffalo's presence was integral to the First Nations way of life, data sovereignty ensures that our information remains a cherished part of our heritage.

As Nations and research partners, we navigate the landscape of data with relationships, respect, reciprocity, and a commitment to preserving our unique cultural tapestry.

Let this Elder wisdom touch your heart and then share it with those who need to hear it today.

“All that language that people say is being lost will never be lost, what the Creator had made will never be lost. We might forget it and walk away from it, but it will never be lost. It was always there. It comes to us in different forms, in dreams, in people that we encounter. That's how it comes to us. And those amazing things that happen, how somebody is cured of something, is just to remind us that this is the way it is. This is the way we have been given.” Elder Tom MaCallum

Did you know that beadwork is similar to data sovereignty?

Each bead in a traditional Indigenous design holds significance and contributes to the overall pattern. In a similar way, data sovereignty empowers First Nation communities to control, protect, and use our own information contributing to the overall collective good.

Both practices honour Indigenous autonomy, culture, and identity, weaving a story of resilience and self-determination.

What other cool parallels do you see between these art forms and the invaluable lessons they teach us about sovereignty and empowerment?

Our elders' wisdom is invaluable. Through data sovereignty, we ensure their knowledge is preserved and respected in research, and health and social services.

By integrating traditional knowledge with modern data practices, we can create more effective and culturally appropriate solutions for our communities.

We, as a people, must honour and protect the wisdom of our knowledge keepers.

On World Sexual Health Day, we're committed to protecting our future generations through education and awareness.

Our work on HPV vaccine education and STBBI knowledge translation is crucial for empowering our First Nations communities with the information they need to make informed choices.

By prioritizing sexual health today, we’re ensuring a healthier tomorrow for all. We aim to continue to educate, advocate, and protect our future generations.
