Nikihk Admin

Summary: Second discussion related to the structure of the government and first conversation about the qualities government members should demonstrate/possess. The Governance Committee presented the idea of a five person Council of equal individuals, who could be any member of the community (youth, Elder, adult) as long as they can demonstrate their ability to do the work required of the government and act in the best interests of the community. The community discussed and approved a five person Council. The community also decided that the government would be selected through a formal election process and asked the Governance Committee to develop a draft process and present it at the next meeting. Qualities for government were discussed, and it was agreed that the election process should ensure that the best candidates would be elected.
