Proud British Columbians and Canadians, Nisg̱a’a citizens are responsible for building and maintaining our own institutions. The Nisg̱a’a Nation is represented by Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government (NLG) — 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 assure democracy, transparency, and accountability, Nisg̱a’a Government is comprised of NLG, the four Nisg̱a’a Village Governments, and three Urban Locals.


Nisg̱a’a Lisims Executive is an elected council. The President, Secretary-Treasurer, Chairperson and Chairperson of the Council of Elders are elected by all Nisg̱a’a citizens while the Chief Councillor and Councillors are elected by Nisg̱a’a citizens resident in each village. The Executive consists of the Officers, the Chief Councillor of each Nisg̱a’a Village Government, and one representative from each Nisg̱a’a Urban Local. There are 11 representatives in total. Nisg̱a’a Lisims Executive represents Nisg̱a’a citizens as the sole Nisg̱a’a Growth Corporation shareholder.
