Grounded in the values of the People served, we honour the voice of Indigenous communities and organizations.

IPRF enters a new season. 

As the pandemic diminishes and the world adjusts, we are in a place of recovery and renewal. Last year, IPRF with support from Victoria Grant and Wanda Brascoupe, approved a leadership transition plan in recognition of this shift. In the coming weeks, IPRF will begin the search for our next leader, and we welcome you to walk with us in these next steps. 

VOICES OF COMMUNITY

“Where common memory is lacking, where people do not share in the same past, there can be no real community. Where community is to be formed, common memory must be created.”

GEORGE ERASMUS, DENE NATION, CO-CHAIR OF THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON ABORIGINAL PEOPLES
