Vision, Mission & Values
Our Vision
Our vision is to become a model of First Nations leadership, blending traditional knowledge, innovation, and sovereignty together with our member First Nations. We support a future immersed in our ancestral knowledge, languages, and values, where every individual is empowered, and reconciliation is achieved. Our commitment is to uphold Treaty and Inherent Rights, and to be guided by the profound wisdom of our Life Speakers and Language Keepers.
Our Mission
We serve our member First Nations in building community and good relations. We offer a holistic view of delivering social, economic, and governance programs and services driven with, by, and for our citizens. Rooted in our Inherent and Treaty rights, we support and advocate for: health and healing, wellness, social development, education, justice, economic growth, and governance. The foundation of who we are embodies the languages, cultures, and traditions of our distinct Nehiyaw, Anishinaabe, Nakoda, Dakota, and Lakota Nations.
Our Values
We value respect, integrity, innovation, collaboration, positive change, and accountability.
Our values assist us in establishing core principles that guide actions and decisions, ensuring consistency, integrity, and trust. Values also aid in decision-making and align with the council’s mission and vision.
