The Indigenous Relations Secretariat (IRS), housed with the Executive Council Office, coordinates government's response to Indigenous matters within the province.
Strategic priorities include:
- To provide centralized management and coordination of Indigenous Relations.
- To foster and maintain positive relationships with First Nations and Aboriginal organizations.
- Work with all levels of government, including First Nations, to reduce any socio-economic gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Islanders and improve life outcomes for Aboriginal Islanders.
- To provide general information about the Mi'kmaq and Aboriginal organizations.
- To develop and maintain public policy on the duty to consult and advise on policy matters related to Aboriginal and treaty rights.
