By Letters Patent dated March 1, 1990, Nishnawbe-Aski Legal Services Corporation was created to begin addressing the legal and justice issues of NAN communities and to begin delivering services and programs in a culturally appropriate manner in furtherance of the original vision of the NAN leaders who saw the need to find ways to address the shortcomings of the administration of justice in the NAN territory.

NALSC has grown steadily since 1990 and has worked hard to develop a professional image and to hire qualified staff to carry out the corporation’s mandate.

Innovative and creative programs have made NALSC a leader and at times, an example, in alternatives to justice programs, and have met with success in these areas.
