Empower Your Community with Indigenous-Led Solutions for Community Safety, Nation Governance, and Housing.

Designed as an interactive, discussion-driven forum, the Think Tank brings together First Nations leaders, governance professionals, housing practitioners, legal experts, and community safety representatives to explore practical approaches to strengthening Nation governance, protecting community safety, enforcing First Nations laws, and advancing self-determination.

Through case studies, facilitated discussions, and peer-to-peer learning, participants will examine real-world strategies for governing lands and housing, developing effective enforcement frameworks, supporting restorative justice, and building safer, more resilient communities.

Key Topics Include:

• Community safety and First Nations-led responses to organized crime
• Strengthening Nation governance, jurisdiction, and enforcement of First Nations laws
• Trespass by-laws, banishment policies, and protecting community lands
• Housing, restorative justice, and community reintegration
• Practical governance tools to support self-determination and resilient communities
