Who We Are
The Northern Native Fishing Corporation (NNFC) is owned equally by the Gitxsan Nation, Nisga’a Nation and North Coast First Nations Society, which represents the Tsimshian Nation. The Corporation was launched in 1982 as a join management strategy between the Government of Canada and the three First Nations governments to improve the affordability of fishing for First Nations fishers through the establishment of a license bank. Through this process, the Corporation holds licenses and/or quota that is leased back to members at reduced or “fair trade” rates, which in turn improves the economic viability of the fishery and secures access for members. NNFC continues to support First Nations’ participation in the Pacific commercial fishing industry by diversifying its holdings through a license alternation program. This process will give NNFC fishers the opportunity to harvest a variety of species that ensures the benefits from fisheries flow back to active fish harvesters and their communities.
