Executive Officer’s Message Welcome to the first issue of the UNBI’s newsletter and
introduction to our newly revamped website: unbi.org!
The UNBI was formed by a grass roots movement
during the late 1960’s by Andrew Nicholas, Engineer,
Village of Nashwaaksis; Harold Sappier, School Bus
Driver, St. Mary’s; Elsie Paul, St. Mary’s and Douglas
Atwin, Carpenter, St. Anne Indian Reserve, Kingsclear.
They applied for a Charter under the “COMPANIES ACT”
constituting them and such others who may become
Members in the Union of New Brunswick Indians, a body
Corporate and Politic serving all 15 First Nation
communities. During the mid-1980s, the Chiefs of New
Brunswick formed a board of directors to supervise the
activities of the UNBI.
Over the years we have striven for opportunities for our
people to be gainfully employed, to re-acquire our lost
lands, to be better educated, to develop economically and to
educate non-aboriginals on our aspirations. People tried to
change us. Today, though, I find that we have a different
leadership - a different feeling of pride - and we’re asserting
ourselves. So let’s celebrate the accomplishments of our
people and continue to develop their vast potential!

The Free Tuition Program (FTP) is designed to help
post-secondary students by providing more upfront
bursary funding to students from families with the
greatest financial need so that they may graduate with
less debt, and increasing affordability and access for
New Brunswick student financial assistance recipients
choosing to attend a public college or university located
in New Brunswick.
