The Saskatchewan Indian Federated College Act of the Legislative Assembly of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) established the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC) (now the First Nations University of Canada) as an institution that is administratively and financially autonomous, but academically integrated with the University of Regina.

First Nations University of Canada is the only First Nations controlled post-secondary institution operating in close partnership with a major university. Governed by a board of governors appointed by the Chiefs of Saskatchewan, the First Nations University of Canada adheres to all university regulations with respect to admission, hiring of faculty, and academic program development, yet possesses a unique curriculum with a First Nations perspective. Accreditation for the programs of the curriculum is based on mutual cooperation between the First Nations University of Canada and the University of Regina.
