Stories Have Always Been Our Governance

NAtional Urban Indigenous Coalition Council
The National Urban Indigenous Coalition Council – or NUICC – is an advisory table made up of caucus representatives of Urban Indigenous Coalitions from nearly every province and territory in Canada. NUICC was established in 2018 to engage urban Indigenous organizations, share their unique stories, raise the profile of local perspectives and issues, and to further advance a national dialogue. The Council is supported through the Urban Programming for Indigenous Peoples (UPIP) program of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC). Trends as reported by StatCan point to growing numbers of Indigenous People in Canada living in urban centres, with estimates of approximately 1,000,000 living off reserve today. Approximately one-quarter of Indigenous people living in urban areas in Canada are living in poverty. Urban organizations which provide support are therefore vital to the overall health of Indigenous Peoples, and to Canadian society.
