FNPA's History

Historically, Indigenous people in Saskatchewan haven’t been given the chance to share in their province’s prosperity. The Government of Saskatchewan recognized this and decided to create opportunities for Indigenous people to become involved in the clean sector. FNPA is a valued partner and resource for government, industry, and Indigenous participants. Our movement is expanding across Canada, encouraging Indigenous communities to embrace the future of energy.
