Due to Indian & Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Cutbacks of 2009/2010 - Tribal Councils will soon be obsolete and discontinued as they are more or less service agencies to First Nations or Band Organizations. Tribal Councils are slowly seeing their Funding Allocations lowered on an annual basis. Current Indian & Northern Affairs Canada Policy is seeing that Tribal Councils are not meeting the Service Obligations and may stream line the Tribal Council Funding to First Nations, Métis, and Urban First Nation Population Centers. Current Indian and Northern Affairs Canada is revamping the Governance portion to funding Band Offices, Tribal Councils, and certain Non Profit First Nation Organizations.[1]
