The Alberta Public Service

works to build a stronger province for current and future generations. We make a difference in the lives of Albertans through rewarding and diverse career opportunities.

The Ministry of Indigenous Relations serves as a central point for the Government of Alberta to foster and maintain respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples, communities, and organizations. The Ministry is responsible for delivering the Indigenous Learning Initiative (ILI), which was created in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #57, to provide education to public servants on Indigenous histories, including the history and legacy of residential schools, treaties and Aboriginal rights. Through the ILI, the ministry offers two cultural awareness courses: Indigenous Introductory Training and Indigenous Cultural Protocol training. These programs support reconciliation by educating employees of the Alberta Public Service and agencies, boards and commissions so they can better understand, engage and work with First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Alberta.
