Election Code

Under the Indian Act (1876), our Nation is registered as a “Section 10 Band.”  Section 10 of the Indian Act allows a Nation to assume control of its own membership so long as the band can meet the requirements outlined in Section 10 (Government of Canada, 2018).  

It also allows us to develop our own laws, known as codes. We have established our own procedures for electing our councillors. 

This document, crafted by our Band, outlines tailored procedures for electing our government. Once endorsed by our membership, it replaces the election rules mandated by section 74 of the Indian Act and its regulations. Easily accessible, you can print or download the PDF to gain comprehensive insights into our electoral processes.
