Our Why

The First Nations Health Council (FNHC) is a provincial-level political and advocacy organization that represents — and is accountable to — First Nations in BC.

Why we exist

Gathering Wisdom XIII

Gathering Wisdom forums are mandated by the Tripartite agreements that underpin the First Nations Health Governance Structure. Gathering Wisdom for a Shared Journey XIII (GWXIII) on June 4-6, 2025 welcomed more than 600 attendees. The agenda featured keynotes from changemakers, cultural presentations, discussions about the evolution of the FNHC's role, and a Principles Document to support a First Nations approach to future health-related legislation.
