First Nations Version (NT): An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament /
Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version (FNV) recounts the Creator’s Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers’ oral cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people.
The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the New Testament. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way.

I’ve been using the First Nations Version for over a year and believe it provides a new voice and new view on the lessons. This translation gives the divine Word of the New Testament a voice from America’s indigenous people. This version is a gift, especially to students of eco theology.

I am very much enjoying the First Nations Version. It makes the text alive for me with new versions of passages that I’ve heard or read countless times in other versions. It challenges me and makes me think. I highly recommend it.
