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.
