The National
Lnu Association (NLA) is an organization seeking to empower the Mi'kmaq
people to take charge of their own political, social and economic futures.
Some of
the issues the NLA wants to address are:
ACCOUNTABILITY,
To Fight reserve corruption and mismanagement of funds;
To Pursue
the right to self determination and the inherent right to self government;
To Empower
Mi'kmaq treaty rights;
To Protect
and promote Mi'kmaq political, social and economic interest.
To Pursue
sovereignty for the Mi'kmaq Nation in accordance with the Nation to Nation
status of the treaties;
To Eradicate
the illegitimate jurisdiction of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
and the Department of Natural Resources; Amongst many other issues.
We firmly
believe that in order to create a responsible, legitimate governing system
the grass roots people must participate in the process. We encourage all
Mi'kmaq people to participate because their opinion and support are valuable.
