The First Nations Gazette acts as a place where First Nations Communities can publish laws, regulations, and other notices and has become the official vehicle for notification and publication. It has been divided into three sections:

  • Part I: Public notification service
  • Part II: Register for First Nations Legislation
  • Part III: Documents related to First Nations lawmaking
    • (standards, procedures, policies, sample laws and bylaws)

The search allows users to verify First Nations’ official and variant names
