Description

Who We Are

The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples represents the interests of Métis, status and Non-status Indians, and Southern Inuit Indigenous People living off-reserve in Canada.

CAP is one of five National Indigenous Representative Organizations recognized by the Government of Canada.


What We Stand For

Our vision is that all Indigenous peoples in Canada will experience the highest quality of life, founded on highest quality of life, founded on the rebuilding of our Nations.

All Indigenous citizens will rightfully be treated with respect, dignity, integrity, and equality.
