FNLC Councils

Over several years a number of province-wide ‘Councils’ have been established to address a range of sectoral issues. These Councils were established under a number of authorities and are addressing various aspects of governance and receive their mandates through the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) comprised of the BCAFN, the First Nations Summit (FNS) and the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), all of whom are accountable to, and receive direction from, the Nations in BC. These Councils were established to provide technical support and assistance to our individual Nations in advancing their governance agenda and their Aboriginal rights and title, including treaty rights, and to work to improve the socio-economic conditions of Indigenous peoples and communities.
