Welcome to International United Native Nation 510 (IUNN 510)

Local Roots, Global Justice.

For nearly 25 years, we have been a steadfast voice for Indigenous peoples living off-reserve. Our journey began in Nanaimo, BC, in November 2003, with a clear mandate: to relieve poverty, advance education, and act as a fierce lobbying force for Aboriginal Rights in locally, provincially and nationally.

From Local 510 to International Action. Under the leadership of President Bill Williams, our advocacy has grown beyond provincial borders. Following President Williams’ testimony to the Senate Standing Committee on Human Rights in 2012, we recognized that the struggle for justice is shared by Indigenous peoples everywhere.

Today, operating as International United Native Nation 510, we continue the legacy of Local 510. We have expanded our reach through modern technology to support Indigenous brothers and sisters across Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.

Our Commitment Remains Unchanged. Whether we are handing out winter clothes to street people in Campbell River on Christmas morning or providing legal guidance via Zoom to a client worldwide, our mission is the same: to ensure every Indigenous person has a voice, fair representation in court, and the support they need to thrive.

Welcome to our community.
