FNCIAS recognizes Treaties Recognition Week!
Treaties are sacred agreements built on respect, partnership, and shared responsibility. This week is an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing importance of Treaty relationships and learn more about the history and spirit of the Treaties.
We are proud to work alongside First Nations across Treaty territories in support of Nation-led growth and self-determination. Check out OTC's profile and website for great Treaty education resources ⬇️
