First Nations governance

First Nations Governance refers to the systems and practices by which Indigenous communities in Canada manage their affairs and make decisions. It encompasses the structures, rules, and processes that guide their political, social, and economic life. This governance can be rooted in traditional customs, modern legal frameworks, or a combination of both. Each First Nation may have its own constitution or governance code, reflecting its unique culture and values. Effective governance aims to empower communities, promote self-determination, and address the specific needs and interests of their members while maintaining respectful relationships with other levels of government.
