Elders play an integral role at the Board of Chiefs, Executive Council meetings, and working groups. Four Elders, each representing the Partners, is present and engaged at the Board of Chiefs meetings. In addition, one Elder participates in the Executive Council and working group meetings. It is through our Elders representation that NITHA remains grounded in its First Nation identity representing our diverse Partnership.
Our Elders are Mike Daniels, William Ratfoot, Rose Daniels, Gertie Montgrand, John Cook and Albert Fiddler.
The four Partners are unique and make their own decisions.
Relationships are principal.
Decisions are made based on consensus.
Consensus based decisions are informed and supported by the practices of gathering information from various sources, open and timely communication, and supportive learning environments.
