F.N.E.I.I. is a First Nation Regional Managing Organization that came into existence in 2004 through Federal contributions. First Nation Education Initiative Inc. represents an alliance of seven First Nation communities from the province of New Brunswick which includes: Buctouche, Eel Ground, Eel River Bar, Fort Folly, Indian Island,  Metepenagiag, and Pabineau.  We provide our member First Nations with the opportunity to further strengthen the overall quality, accessibility and relevance of education programs for First Nation people in New Brunswick.  Our goal is to improve student achievement for all First Nation students beyond the levels of their non First Nation peers

Mission Statement

Establish and maintain an educational jurisdictional model for First Nations education, which will result in improved capacity for First Nations educators ultimately leading to improvements in the educational outcomes for all First Nations students attending Band Operated and Provincial schools.
