About IFNA

The Independent First Nations Alliance (IFNA) is a Tribal Council in Ontario, representing five communities. IFNA provides second-level services to First Nations, including capacity development and regional project implementation, which are more efficient than individual communities managing these tasks alone.

Guided by a traditional consensus-building approach, IFNA's mission is to advance the priorities of its First Nations communities and foster healthy, sustainable environments. The organization has expanded significantly over the last few years. This growth has enabled IFNA to address emerging needs in health, education, and economic development. As IFNA continues to evolve, it remains committed to supporting its member communities through proactive problem-solving, capacity building, and strategic planning in collaboration with community leaders.
