Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status
Indians.
The role of the Federal Interlocutor was created in 1985 to provide a
point of contact between the Government of Canada and national Aboriginal
organizations who represent Métis and Non-Status Indians to discuss their
priority issues. I am the advocate within the federal government for Métis,
Non-Status Indians and urban Aboriginal people. My role also includes:
bilateral relations with national Métis and Non-Status Indian organizations;
tripartite processes with off-reserve Aboriginal groups and the provinces;
and, finding practical ways to improve the life chances of Métis, Non-Status
Indians and urban Aboriginal people. In addition, I am the lead federal
Minister responsible for the Urban Aboriginal Strategy (UAS).
This site is intended
to be a user-friendly resource to all people who care about Métis and
Non-Status Indians, their cultures and their challenges. As Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status
Indians, I am proud to share with you this very exciting venture.
The Honourable Jim Prentice
Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
