What is NWIC

The Northwest Indigenous Council is an organization where you can work alongside other urban and rural Indigenous peoples to ensure you have a legitimized voice and a place at the table to ensure your rights and aspirations are brought to important discussion in your neighbourhoods, cities, villages and the evolving Nation to Nation discourse.

The Northwest Indigenous Council’s governance includes an Annual General Meeting that takes place typically in January or February where all are welcome.

As a young organization, the NorthWest Indigenous Council has a volunteer working board with little operational funding. The Board of Directors is elected by, and accountable to, the organization’s membership.

The Northwest Indigenous Council hosts quarterly Board of Director meetings to identify priorities and develop a strategy moving forward on numerous key issues impacting the people the Northwest Indigenous Council seeks to advocate for.
