Oct. 2020 - First Nations Revenue Research Report
The FMB embarked upon the revenue source research in order to quantify the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic was having on Indigenous economies. It is estimated that First Nations’ business revenue decreased by $142.3 million in the second quarter of the 2020 calendar year and a total decrease of $1.9 billion is forecast for the 2021 fiscal year. The absence of readily available trusted data of the kind contained in this report points to the need for the re-establishment of a First Nations Statistical Institute.
Apr. 2018 - First Nations Governance Project: Phase 1 Report
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (“UNDRIP”) gives Indigenous peoples the right to govern themselves. The FMB and the Institute of Governance created the FNGP to help First Nations make the UNDRIP work for them. Phase 1 will look at how First Nations can best use the UNDRIP to manage their own communities and work with Canada.
