The United First Nations (UFN) was formed to provide services and programs to first nations communities, and to serve as an inter-nation forum for its members. Programs we run annually (or semi-regularly) include our Youth Council, and language and culture programs.
The UFN was incorporated in January of 2024.
Regional Districts
The UFN is mandated to serve as a forum for first nation communities. However, there are more than 650 first nations across Canada. We have organized our Congress of Nations based on 293 regional governmental areas in order to lessen the size of our membership. Our https://govn.ca/map shows the UFN’s regional governments.
Regional governments are evolving and changing as new leadership is elected. Name changes to the regions happen when leadership choose names to better reflect the represented communities. Currently many districts share the same name as a Canadian Census Division.
The UFN has one special district called the Federal Administrative Enclave (FAE), in which the Fae National Government’s council also serves as the UFN’s council.
