The Indigenous Peoples Resource Management Certificate (IPRM) is offered in partnership between the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) and National Aboriginal Land Managers Association (NALMA), to First Nations land managers from across Canada. Participants of the program receive a Certificate of Proficiency upon successful completion of six degree-level courses through a combination of face-to-face and home study distance format. Courses deal with the knowledge that indigenous land managers require for effective resource management. This includes: how to recognize and deal with environmental impacts; how to keep track of and manage land resources; how to economically assess resource based projects; and how to deal with the basics of contract, trust and property law. This program will enhance the capacity of indigenous peoples to deal with resource management and environmental issues.  Further information may be obtained from the Indigenous Land Management Institute, Tel: 306-966-6474
