History


In 1917, the Canadian Royal Flying Corps survey operation identified the flatlands of Tyendinaga as an excellent location for a flight training facility, Camp Mohawk. In 1985, FNTI federally incorporated to create educational pathways for Indigenous Peoples.
FNTI started their First Peoples’ Aviation Technology – Flight program in 1989 to train First Nations, Métis and Inuit pilots on the former Camp Mohawk site.

Since its inception, the institute has delivered certificate, diploma and degree credentials issued in partnership with recognized Ontario colleges and universities. In 2020, FNTI will begin delivering its own standalone bachelor's degrees in accordance with the Indigenous Institutes Act, 2017.
