CFNG delivered a two-day forum as part of the conference to help bring youth and elders together, and to guide all citizens in an exploration of opportunities for action and governance of traditional territories.

About 70 participants learned about making their own laws to protect traditional lands, having a voice in how development occurs, and benefiting economically when development takes place.

The Centre creates and delivers two-day agendas about self-governance and jurisdiction over the land for multi-nation gatherings across Canada.
