Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) is one of the federal government departments responsible for meeting the Government of Canada's legal obligations and commitments to Aboriginal people (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), and for fulfilling the federal government's constitutional responsibilities in the North. INAC's activities and programs help fulfill these responsibilities.
