Empowering Indigenous Voices, Sparking Transformation Together
Aaniin, Shé:kon, Tawnshi, Miyotôtâkewin, ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ – At the Niagara Regional Native Centre we strive to serve all Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island including First Nations, Inuit, and Metis. Check in often for program information and updates, and the events calendar for our Community Socials and other Special Events.
The philosophical base of our culture teaches us that all change occurs in cycles and the vision connected with that change must come from within. In keeping with the inherent intent of this philosophy, the main priority for the Niagara Regional Native Center has been to work with the winds of change to determine our own destiny
We will be closed, Wednesday February 19th, 2025 for Professional Development

Dęgyatahahk Winter Campaign!
We are proud to launch our first Annual Dęgyatahahk Winter Campaign!
Dęgyatahahk, meaning “you and I walk together” in Cayuga, reflects our commitment to walking alongside our community in a spirit of unity and support.
As we celebrate renewal during the Haudenosaunee Mid Winter Ceremony, we invite you to read Bryanna’s story, which highlights the transformative impact of her time at Abbey House, our women’s transitional shelter. Her journey is a powerful reminder of how your contributions help create lasting change for individuals in need.
There’s still time to get those donations in! The CRA has extended the tax receipting deadline to the end of February. This means that any donations made in January and February will be eligible for a 2024 tax receipt.
Your generosity helps us continue our work and strengthens our sense of belonging and community. Thank you for walking this journey with us.
