CFLA and NIKLA Release First Nations, Métis, and Inuit – Indigenous Ontology (FNMIIO)
July 1, 2019
To mark National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, the National Indigenous Knowledge and Language Alliance (NIKLA) and the Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA) released the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit – Indigenous Ontology (FNMIIO), a working list of Indigenous Names to better reflect how Indigenous people currently prefer to refer to themselves.
The FNMI Ontology is intended to be a living document that will be updated and revised based on information gathered through research or consultations. Future plans include distribution as MARC authority records and in linked data formats.
Fields in the ontology include:
- Community Name
- Used For
- Alternate Names/Spellings
- Cultural Affiliations
- Political Affiliations
- Language(s)
- Treaty/Agreement/Settlement
- Band #
- Reserve/Settlement Name
- Reserve/Settlement Location (NRCan)
- Source(s)

I would like to download a copy of the above Ontology document to keep on my desktop while cataloguing Indigenous materials. Each time I try to save a copy, I’m only able to save one page and not the entire document. Any suggestions? Is this available in another format?
Thanks for your help.
