NAFC brings urban Indigenous issues to U.N. forum

The National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC) is participating in the 24th session of the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, held April 21–25. The Canadian delegation includes leaders from over 100 Friendship Centres, the Indigenous Youth Council, and provincial associations.

The NAFC will host a side event titled Living UNDRIP: Indigenous Rights in Urban Spaces to highlight how the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples applies in urban areas.
