This book is meant to provide the reader with an overview of where we have come from and where we are going in terms of the collective goal of the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan: to ensure First Nations are involved as equal partners in the planning and management of health services for our people.

 The First Nations Health Council (FNHC) launched a “Health Partnership Workbook” in January 2011, and made the Workbook available online and as the focus of a series of First Nations regional caucus sessions across the province.

 On May 26, 2011, First Nations in British Columbia passed a historic resolution to assume greater control and decision-making over their health and wellness. 146 of the 167 Chiefs and representatives in attendance (87%) voted in favour of the resolution which will make BC First Nations the first in Canada to take over health service delivery from the federal government.
