Montreal Indigenous Community NETWORK

The Montreal Indigenous Community NETWORK envisions an urban setting where the well-being and growth of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities throughout Tiohtià:ke/Montreal are led by Indigenous communities. The NETWORK contributes to establishing and fostering an environment centered on relationship-building and community connections that ensure safe and abundant access to culturally relevant information, services, and resources. We are working towards an urban setting which honours, respects and celebrates the diversity of Indigenous knowledge, cultures and innovation. As an umbrella organization, the Montreal Indigenous Community NETWORK is in a unique position to connect various segments of urban Indigenous communities by supporting Indigenous and Indigenous-serving organizations working directly with community members in and around Tiohtià:ke/ Montreal. We accomplish our mission by implementing four main approaches: 1. Gathering those who directly serve community members 2. Alleviating the burden 3. Empowering Indigenous leadership 4. Transferring knowledge
