History
The Native Community Branch was formed in 1978, and assumed the responsibilities of the former Indian Community Secretariat. The Branch formed part of the Citizenship Division of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
In 1982 it moved to the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, forming part of the Multiculturalism and Citizenship Division. In 1987 it moved to the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship.
In 1995, the Ministry of Citizenship merged to form the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation. At this time, the Native Community Branch ceased to exist and its programs became part of the new Aboriginal Programs Unit of the Community Programs Branch within the new Ministry.
