What it does

This Program supports the implementation of modern treaties, self-government agreements and other constructive arrangements. It aims to create, foster, and maintain ongoing relationships to support the fulfilment of Canada’s legal obligations and objectives pursuant to modern treaties, self-government agreements and other constructive arrangements including the rights and interests of Indigenous Peoples. This Program supports Indigenous governments, organizations, and communities in articulating their interests, participating in economic activities, and managing and developing land and resources, where applicable.

The Program demonstrates the importance of agreements and related partnerships between the Crown and Indigenous Peoples by honouring Canada’s obligations as set out in modern treaties and self-government agreements, and by improving collaboration between Canada and Indigenous Peoples, particularly between Canada and modern treaties and self-government agreement holders. Renewing, creating, building, and maintaining relationships that honour modern treaties and self-government agreements contribute to strengthened, healthy, self-reliant, and sustainable Indigenous communities while promoting the delivery of programs and services vital to the health and advancement of Indigenous Peoples on the path to self-determination.
