Political Bodies: Chiefs & Councils

     The Meadow Lake First Nations (MLFNs) are each governed by a chief and a designated number of councilors. Each of these positions are filled by an elections process where the membership of the individual First Nation vote on the candidates running for a certain position. Once elected, the chief and council separate their focuses into specific portfolios to address the various sectors of community operations. Working together the chief and council oversee the ongoing operations of the community while also providing leadership in all political and developmental processes.
     In terms of MLTC, the chiefs of the Meadow Lake First Nations are the overall ruling body. Their guidance directs all tribal council operations through regular chiefs meetings held in the main boardroom of the tribal council office. It is also the responsibility of the chiefs and their councilors to elect the three tribal leadership positions (Tribal Chief, Dene Vice-Chief and Cree Vice-Chief). All major political agreements and processes require ongoing attention and final approval by the MLFNs chiefs and councilors. And their collective decision-making process operates on a majority vote system.
     As the political partnerships expand and develop, the chiefs and councils of the nine First Nations continually strive to enhance the well being for all communities. It is this environment of respect and cooperation that has seen their tribal council attain such prosperity.
