Native Montreal was established in 2014 with the mission to contribute to the holistic health, cultural strength and success of Indigenous families, individuals, and community living in the greater Montreal area. While there were other indigenous organizations in the city, most were focused on the homeless or at-risk populations. We were created to be a safe place for youth, family services and more. In 2015 we became a member of the national and provincial friendship center movements by becoming members of the RCAAQ and the NAFC. By doing so, we pledged to uphold friendship center values and are now part of the biggest Indigenous non-profit associations, with 13 other friendship centers in Québec and 111 centers across Canada.
