Fund Type
First Nations Land Management (FNLM) allows First Nations to opt out of 32 sections of the Indian Act relating to land management. First Nations can then develop their own laws about land use, the environment and natural resources and take advantage of economic development opportunities with their new land management powers.
- Once a First Nation has joined FNLM, it is able to receive two types of funding: developmental funding for developing a land code, negotiating an individual agreement and holding a ratification vote and on-going operational funding for managing land, natural resources and environment, as determined by a formula and set out in the individual agreement.
