Indigenous Relations - Working in conjunction with Indigenous communities across the CN network, our priority is to strengthen ties, cultivate and develop mutually beneficial relationships, and create economic opportunities to work toward reconciliation. We recognize the importance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its guiding principles within the context of existing Canadian and U.S. law.

CN's commitment to developing respectful and sustainable relationships with all Indigenous peoples across the CN network is in line with our commitment to reconciliation, our Indigenous Vision adopted in 2013 and our Indigenous Relations Policy adopted in 2024.
