The program of study centers on developing knowledge while increasing analytical and applied skills suited to the unique governance issues and opportunities facing Aboriginal peoples and their non-Aboriginal partners today. The curriculum features theory and practice for negotiations and partnership between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal entities, including best practices for successful partnership, leadership, government, management, administration, and business growth for First Nations, Métis and Inuit organizations, and their non-Aboriginal counterparts.
