First Nations University of Canada - Students' Association (FNUnivSA) was formed in 1994 by students of the First Nations University of Canada (then, the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College-SIFC). The "FNUnivSA" is a membership-driven, non-profit, organization currently representing the students of the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv), Regina campus.
FNUnivSA Mission Statement is, "to represent FNUniv students by providing awareness and advocating for student needs while enhancing the total student experience".
FNUnivSA Vision Statement is, "to be active and engaged students in a positive environment."
The FNUnivSA is an active member of the Canadian Federation of Students (Local 90). Members of FNUnivSA are also members of the University of Regina Students Union (URSU).
The FNUnivSA created a website www.FNUniverse.com (2007) and newsletter (2006) in response to lack of communication on campus.
The organization will soon be incorporated under the Non-profit Corporations Act, 1995.
The FNUnivSA is involved with the fight to get the federal government to restore funding to the University.
