NAN Closer to Self-Governance

After 12 years of talks, the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation is closing in on self-governance.
NAN representatives and federal officials have signed 2-agreements to allow the First Nation to move into the
next phase of its ultimate goal, self-governance and jurisdiction over education.
The Northern Ontario First Nation’s negotiating committee will now take the agreements in principle back to its respective communities and ask for their support to move onto the next phase of negotiations.
