Research, Policy + Advisory Services
Research and Policy Advocacy
At First Peoples Group (FPG), our research and policy advocacy services are designed to create systemic change for Indigenous Peoples in Canada. We believe that research must be more than just data collection—it should drive decision-making and influence meaningful change. We focus on projects that align with advocacy efforts and contribute to reconciliation and [re]Confederation.
We are committed to initiatives that have the potential to impact policies and improve outcomes for Indigenous communities and Nations. This includes conducting comprehensive reviews of government policies to assess their alignment with reconciliation standards and the full recognition of Indigenous rights.
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)
We also prioritize building the capacity of Indigenous communities and Nations to engage in policy research, analysis, and advocacy, empowering them to influence the changes they seek. Our expertise extends to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), a global standard for Indigenous rights that remains under-implemented in Canada. FPG can support clients to better understand and implement UNDRIP in meaningful ways.
Partnering with FPG as a strategic advisory firm ensures that your research and policy advocacy efforts are grounded in a commitment to reconciliation, [re]Confederation, and Indigenous rights, driving real change for future generations.
Strategic Advisory Services
In addition to research and policy advocacy, FPG offers strategic advisory services designed to guide organizations toward achieving systemic, lasting transformation.
Our team provides expert advice to clients looking to align their initiatives with reconciliation goals, ensuring they are effectively contributing to the advancement of Indigenous rights and creating lasting impact. We support organizations in navigating complex policy environments, ensuring that their strategies are not only aligned with current frameworks but also pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved through meaningful, long-term change.
By partnering with FPG for strategic advisory services, clients can rely on our deep understanding of Indigenous issues, policy landscapes, and reconciliation efforts to guide their decision-making processes and ensure their actions contribute to a more equitable and just Canada.
