The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples is the organization that advocates on behalf of the “Forgotten People” those who are otherwise voiceless at the National level. We have a distinguished thirty-eight year history of political representation, undertaking research and program / service delivery, as well as carrying out ongoing government relations.

All these efforts seek to build mutual understanding and broader acceptance of the off – reserve status, non – status and Métis constituencies. The Congress is also a recognized non – governmental organization (NGO) with the United Nations .

We are here to amplify the voice of our people at all levels, from local to global. We are committed to ensuring
that Aboriginal people attain a standard of living equitable to all Canadians. We seek to engage others – to participate, contribute and to gain benefit – to consider and influence the effects of our collective derisions on behalf of future generations so that our children and grandchildren can inherit healthy and sustainable communities
and enjoy the prosperity they so richly deserve.
