OUR VISION
To empower urban and rural First Nation, Métis, and Inuit inherent rights holders by fostering meaningful connections across Alberta.
“We need language revitalization, an overhaul in the criminal justice system and healing. We need unity. Resources are needed for Indigenous Peoples living off-reserve and with the ICAA, we are able to speak for them and offer support and advocacy.”
— Justice Tourangeau, National Youth Council Steering Committee member
