The FMB supports First Nations working towards economic self-determination. The FMB is one of four Indigenous-led organizations established by the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA). This is First Nations-driven legislation that provides First Nations with support and tools to strengthen their communities and build their economies. First Nations choose whether to participate in the FMA. The FMB supports First Nations to develop the capacity and secure the financing needed to plan and bring to life a Seven Generations strategy for their citizens.
