Established in the early 1980's, the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) was given
the
responsibility to protect and advance the title and rights of the Nlaka'pamux Nation.
This
mandate has not changed nor has the principled and disciplined approach of the NNTC.
Nlaka'pamux title and rights, however, are not frozen in time and so the work and
structure
of the NNTC continue to evolve.

of the Nation. Learn

The NNTC is founded on the inherent rights of the Nlaka'pamux. The NNTC is not governed by
the Indian Act and does not receive funding as a Tribal Council. The Indian Act does not
define who we are. The Nlaka'pamux are defined by our culture, our language and our ties to
the land.
The NNTC is guided by the wisdom of our ancestors and Elders, by the Nlaka'pamux
Resolution
on Natural Resources and by the fundamental law that if you take care of the land, the
land
will take care of you.
