Tribal Council

A Tribal Council is a regular meeting in a tribal community where members gather to discuss important issues, make decisions, and elect leaders. It functions as a governing body that oversees community affairs, such as cultural initiatives, social programs, and resource management. These councils help ensure the community’s voice is heard and that decisions reflect collective interests. Typically composed of elected representatives or elders, the council facilitates communication, resolves conflicts, and guides the tribe’s development, serving as a vital part of managing and preserving the tribe’s social, cultural, and political life.
