The Atlantic Policy Congress (APC) of First Nations Chief Secretariat provides policy alternatives for First Nations communities in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, and Maine. Through research and analysis, the APC Secretariat tables policies that seek to improve the lives of First Nations in its area. Federally incorporated in 1995, the APC Secretariat creates policy alternatives for 31 Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Innu chiefs, nations, and communities. It is governed by a board of directors comprised of chiefs representing communities. The APC Secretariat also works closely with local organizations and governments to acquire the necessary information so that Indigenous communities can make informed decisions.
