Alberta First Nations Information Governance Centre

The Alberta First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC) is dedicated to empowering First Nations communities in Alberta by advocating for the principles of Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession (OCAP) over their data and research. Established to address the unique information governance needs of Alberta's First Nations, the FNIGC facilitates research initiatives and surveys aimed at promoting the health and well-being of its Peoples.

With a commitment to safeguarding data and enhancing community capacity through training and equitable funding, the FNIGC plays a crucial role in ensuring that First Nations have authority over their research information. Guided by a Board of Directors from Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7, and Treaty No. 8, the organization aims to create a future where data is a meaningful tool for empowerment and positive change within First Nations communities.
