Notre mission

Le Réseau National des Gardiens des Premières Nations (RNG) est un organisme national à but non lucratif qui vise à soutenir l’intendance et la souveraineté des Premières Nations par le biais d’initiatives de gardiens des Premières Nations. Pour ce faire, nous offrons un financement régulier, du réseautage, de la formation et des possibilités d’éducation qui soutiennent la profession de gardien.
