Governance
Mikisew is governed by an elected team of representatives with one Chief and six councillors. This team works diligently locally, nationally and internationally to preserve history and tradition while propelling progress. Chief and Council provide guidance and direction to our executive committee, which manages the daily operations of the Nation, providing services, allocating resources and advocating on behalf of Band members and their interests.
