GOVERNANCE


​The Gwich’in Tribal Council (GTC) was formed as a result of the Gwich’in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement (GCLCA). GTC is comprised of a number of institutional structures, including the Designated Gwich’in Organizations in each Gwich’in community and the Gwich’in Development Corporation.
 
The governance structure of the GTC is made up of:
  • ​​Assemblies – the ultimate governing body of the GTC, setting objectives in accordance with the GCLCA;
  • Board of Directors (BOD) – set the overall direction for management and operation of the GTC;
  • GTC Executive – the Grand Chief and Deputy Grand Chief, responsible for overall management and operation of the GTC in accordance with By-laws, Assembly Resolutions, the GCLCA, and direction from the GTC BOD; and
  • Land Claim Participants – represented through the community-based DGOs at both the Annual General Assembly as well as representation on the BOD.
 
The GCLCA also provides for the negotiation of Gwich'in Government, which is currently in progress.
