Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Mandate, Roles and Responsibilities
www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/ai/mrr-eng.asp
INAC is responsible for two separate yet equally important mandates: Indian and Inuit Affairs and Northern Affairs. This broad mandate is derived largely from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Act, the Indian Act, territorial acts and legal obligations arising from section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867; however, the department is responsible for administering over 50 statutes in total. Consequently, INAC’s mandate is complex and its responsibilities encompass a broad range of services.

Background on Six Nations Claims
www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/nr/prs/j-a2006/snjsbk_e.html
In March 1995, the Six Nations of the Grand River Band of Indians filed a lawsuit against the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario. The lawsuit involves allegations of breaches of fiduciary duty in the administration of Six Nations lands and assets, most of which are based on events that took place before Confederation. In other words, the Six Nations claims focus on how land and money were managed, rather than questioning ownership and/or a return of lands.
