Band Council vs. Traditional Governance

The topic "Band Council vs. Traditional Governance" examines the tension between two distinct systems of Indigenous governance in Canada: the Band Council, a structure imposed by the Indian Act, and Traditional Governance, rooted in Indigenous customs, laws, and practices. This debate is central to discussions about Indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, and the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
