    Economic Relationship

    Indian and Northern Affairs Canada

    Under the agreement with the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) the band through its Council
    is obligated to provide various programs and services such as Band administration, education and social services
    in return for annual funding by INAC. The agreement is for a five year period, retroactive start date of April 1, 2002.

    The council has agreed to act on its behalf and not as an agent of INAC and is responsible for complying
    with any applicable standards related to health, safety and the environment. Funds may be transferred from
    one program or service to another without restrictions, except for capitol purposes which must be spent for such
    purposes.

    The Band’s ability to meet its obligations is contingent upon its continued arrangement with INAC.

    Health and Welfare

    The band has also entered into a multi year agreement with the Minister of National Health and Welfare (Minister)
    to control the health services of its members. Under the agreement, the Band shall design health programs,
    establish health services, allocate funds according to community health priorities, and to ensure public health and
    safety is maintained through mandatory health programs.
