Indigenous Self-Determination through Fiscal Governance
Channel: GovernmentofBC
Date: 2020-06-29

The Indigenous Economic Development & Reconciliation Speakers Series is partnering with the BC Ideas Exchange Webinar Series for a three-part series of webinars on ­­­building Indigenous self-determination through fiscal governance.
 
In the first session in the series Harold Calla, Executive Chair of the First Nations Financial Management Board, shares the story of how the First Nations Financial Management Board helps its members achieve self-governance over their finances, and the benefits that flow from the exercise of those powers.
 
This webinar takes a closer look at how First Nations communities are evolving and growing in B.C. and across Canada, regaining governance over their finances, and laying the foundations for community and economic development consistent with cultural knowledge and value systems. Find out how managing their own affairs enables First Nations to both move away from dependency and address barriers to attracting investments to their lands. Learn how these developments intersect with the Province’s commitment to reconciliation and implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
