Indian Band Council

An Indian Band Council is the governing body for a First Nations community in Canada, responsible for managing local affairs such as housing, education, health services, and community development. It operates under the framework of federal and provincial laws and is elected by band members. The council makes decisions to support the community's well-being and development, often working alongside federal agencies to ensure services and resources meet local needs. Essentially, it functions as a local government, representing the interests of the community’s members and managing day-to-day administrative and policy matters.
