Governance & Council

With four (4) main families, there is one (1) Councillor selected through a nomination and election process for each family. At a nomination meeting, if only one member is nominated to represent a family, they are elected by acclamation. However, if more than one member is nominated to represent a family, the names go on a ballot for the entire electorate to help select the representative.

The Chief is selected via a nomination and election process to represent the community as a whole, and does so with the guidance of the people and councillors.
