Chief and Council

In 1996 Adams Lake Indian Band established its own custom election rules. The latest revision approved by Membership was in June, 2014. This was a break from the standard Indian Affairs electoral system and recognized as a positive step to better govern the Band’s political matters and to oversee the administrative affairs in an open and transparent manner.

The Band Council is entrusted by their Membership to represent the Band’s political views and aspirations at all government levels, as well as to all of its many stakeholders, to ensure a strong voice for ALIB locally, provincially and at national levels.
