The Registry regularly receives inquiries respecting the availability of funding for Claimants to participate in proceedings before the Tribunal. We understand that funding is available under a program administered by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) for First Nations involved in proceedings before the Tribunal, however, the Registry has no role in facilitating access to program funding.
The following link to the AANDC website contains information on funding:
