FNIGC is a First Nations organization mandated to serve the information, research and training needs of First Nations people and communities. FNIGC conducts unique data-gathering initiatives, such as the First Nations Regional Health Survey and the First Nations Labour and Employment Development Survey.
These surveys provide an abundance of information, research, training, data collection, analysis and dissemination services to First Nations at the community, regional and national levels. The surveys also allow us to build culturally relevant portraits of the lives of First Nations people and the communities they live in. FNIGC recognizes that quality information – information that is collected by First Nations people for First Nations people – has the power to change lives by influencing knowledge based decision-making and inspiring effective policy and programs for all First Nations communities.
