The First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) was established in 1976 as the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC) through a federated partnership with the University of Regina. Thirty-five years after it was founded "to enhance the quality of life, and to preserve, protect and interpret the history, language, culture and artistic heritage of first Nations people", FNUniv continues to fulfill this shared vision.

FNUniv provides a unique opportunity to study in an environment that supports First Nations cultures, languages, and values. FNUniv students can participate in and learn through ceremony with Elders as well as through classroom based experience.

FNUniv's courses, programs, and instructors are accredited by the University of Regina and all U of R classes are open to FNUniv students. FNUniv offers academic programming through our Department of Professional Programs (Indigenous Education, Indian Social Work, Business and Public Administration, Health Sciences and Nursing) and through our Department of Interdisciplinary Programs (Indigenous Studies, English, Science, Indian Fine Arts, Indian Communication Arts, Indigenous Languages, Literatures and Linguistics).

FNUniv welcomed over 800 full-time students and over 2000 students (through FNUniv, Campion College, Luther College and the University of Regina) in over 230 FNUniv courses for the fall 2010 semester. The institution has more than 3000 alumni – Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal graduates alike who are making positive contributions in Saskatchewan and across Canada.

FNUniv is a unique Canadian institution that specializes in Indigenous knowledge, providing post-secondary education for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students alike within a culturally support environment.
