The First Nations Bank of Canada is a schedule II chartered bank that serves Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal customers throughout Canada. It is the first such bank of its kind in North America, conceived, packaged and developed by Aboriginal People for Aboriginal People. This interview explores the institution’s conception, structure, and function, including it's ability to contribute to Aboriginal people's economic self sufficiency and political self determination."
