Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council Mission
To facilitate in the transfer of local control and responsibility of programs and services to member bands as expressed in the following passage:
We, the Tribal Council, wish to establish our own over-all policies and strategies for our activities, in harmony with the aspirations of our people.
We, the Tribal Council, are clearly saying that we wish to accept the responsibility of our areas as a step further promoting local government and the eventual self-determination and independence of our people.
We, the Tribal Council, wish to coordinate the program planning and implementation to more effectively respond to the socio-economic and cultural needs of the individual and our communities.
In support of that passage, the Tribal Council established the following passage:
“To facilitate the development of Reserve Government at the pace decided upon by each member Reserve; by making sure there is total participation in direction of obtaining adequate funds in accordance to the needs of activities to the communities; providing a vehicle by which the communities assist each other in all aspects of Reserve development; assisting in the creation of a method of operation acceptable to the members of the Tribal Council which is consistent with the responsibility and obligations of the Government of Canada”.
