Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) is a Saskatchewan-based First Nations organization.
The federation grew out of a number of different organizations. Although the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians (FSI) was organized in 1959 (with John Tootoosis as its first president), it grew out of the Union of Saskatchewan Indians, founded February 14, 1946. The Union was created with the merger of two other groups, the Protective Association for the Indians and their Treaties, and the Association of Saskatchewan Indians, (officially incorporated in 1945 with Joe Dreaver as president.
On April 16, 1982, FSI restructured itself into a true federation, and changed its name to the current Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations.
