Nation Rebuilding General Survey

Nation Rebuilding Project
 
The Southern Chiefs' Organization (SCO) has initiated a Nation Rebuilding Project to engage with its member Nations to discuss working towards self-government and self-determination by re-establishing pre-contact traditional Anishinaabe and Dakota forms of governance. This Project results from First Nation leadership discussion and direction, including messages heard in First Nations' gatherings. The Project proposal was supported by the SCO Chiefs’ Executive Committee and Chiefs’ Finance and Personnel Committee on March 11, 2022. The Project will develop a strategic plan that will be presented at a future Chiefs Summit in 2023.
