Introduction
Alberta is home to 48 First Nations across Treaties 6, 7 and 8. These Nations represent diverse cultures, languages and governance systems.
First Nations have shaped Alberta’s history for generations and continue to play a vital role in its future. Their contributions strengthen the social, cultural and economic fabric of the province.
The Alberta government's First Nations Relations branch offers guidance to provincial and federal departments, municipal governments and industry, and actively contributes to cross-ministry initiatives that impact Indigenous Peoples in areas such as education, health care and children’s services.
Alberta’s government recognizes that land and natural resource management decisions can affect First Nations and the exercise of Treaty Rights. This includes considering how cumulative impacts may change over time and working with First Nations and industry as understanding of those impacts evolves.
Alberta’s government supports responsible resource development and partnerships that create shared opportunities, including participation in major projects.
The Government of Alberta has, is, and will continue to consider and act to manage the cumulative impacts of land and natural resource management decisions on the exercise of First Nations’ Treaty Rights.
