Who We Are and What We Do
Through the historic government-to-government Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management, the First Nations Lands Advisory Board (LAB) is dedicated to supporting First Nations communities in their efforts to re-establish control over their lands, natural resources and environment.
The Framework Agreement is a First Nations driven arrangement that provides the opportunity to resume control over their reserve lands, natural resources and environment. Since the Framework Agreement’s signing in 1996, an ever-growing number of First Nations communities across Canada have resumed their inherent authority over their reserve lands, , natural resources and environment by replacing the 44 lands-related sections of the Indian Act with a community developed and approved land code.
The mission of the LAB remains steadfast: “First Nations working together to resume jurisdiction over reserve lands and resources.”
First Nation Established and Controlled
The LAB is comprised of an elected Chairman and regionally elected Directors, determined by the Councils of the signatory First Nations who have formally established their community land codes.
Among its roles, the LAB:
- provides strategic direction to the First Nations Land Management Resource Centre which was established to provide technical and professional support to First Nation signatories as they develop and implement their own land codes,
- proposes legislative changes to the Framework Agreement and federal legislation as directed by the signatory Councils,
- advocates for and negotiates funding with the Government of Canada on behalf of the First Nations signatory communities
