Nisg̱a’a Government
Proud British Columbians and Canadians, Nisg̱a’a citizens are responsible for building and maintaining our own institutions.
Our Government
The Nisg̱a’a Nation is represented by the Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government—a modern, forward thinking administration based on traditional culture and values. Nisg̱a’a Government has the authority to pass laws on a broad range of matters. At the same time, Nisg̱a’a lawmaking authority is concurrent with federal and provincial authority. Designed to ensure democracy, transparency, and accountability, Nisg̱a’a Government is comprised of Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government, the four Nisg̱a’a Village Governments, and three Nisg̱a’a Urban Locals.
Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government is determined to govern by the principles of our Ayuuḵ, the time honoured Nisg̱a’a code. All decisions proceed in the manner of Sayt-Ḵ’iĺim-Goot, the Nisg̱a’a common bowl philosophy. We believe we are bound together as one people in all that we do.
Nisg̱a’a Nation—One heart, one path, one nation.
