OBS

In 1930, the Saskatchewan Treaty Protection Association was formed to protect the Treaty Rights of Indians in the Fort Qu'Appelle area. During the 1940's it became the Protective Association for Indians and their Treaties. In 1943, the Association of Indians of Saskatchewan became the largest organization in Saskatchewan. In 1946, a conference was convened by the Government of Saskatchewan at which 60 representatives of the Cree, Sioux, Saulteaux and Assiniboine Tribes of Saskatchewan discussed the feasibility of forming a single Indian organization. A resolution was passed favouring such establishment. Follow up meetings of Saskatchewan Indian leaders representing all Saskatchewan Bands were held at Duck Lake and Saskatoon. This resulted in the formation of the Union of Saskatchewan Indians. In 1957, a conference of Saskatchewan Chiefs and Councillors laid plans for a new organization. A second conference in 1958 resulted in the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians. By the late 1970's the swift pace of the political developments of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians(FSI) led to the drive for reorganization of the structure and Constitution of the Federation. On April 16, 1982, the Saskatchewan Chiefs agreed to form Canada's first Indian Legislative Assembly. The political convention they signed re-structured the FSI, so that the provincial governing body is no longer a non-profit society but a true federation of nations. Now known as the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, the Chiefs control the executive and administrative functions of government at the band, tribal council and provincial levels of Indian Government.

  • Finance
  • Government Accounting
DEF

A method for providing Indian Councils with expanded authority to manage the affairs of Indian communities. Bands that sign an AFA agreement may modify and redesign federally-funded programs in a way more appropriate to community needs and priorities, as long as minimum program requirements are met. They may even transfer funds between programs(except between capital and O & M). The Chief and his Council are thus more accountable to the band members and the Minister retains his accountability to Parliament.

DEF

Mécanisme, autre que les mécanismes traditionnels de crédits parlementaires ou de fonds renouvelables, que les ministères peuvent utiliser pour financer leurs opérations.

CONT

Les modes optionnels de financement constituent l'une des façons de donner aux conseils indiens plus d'autonomie dans la gestion des collectivités indiennes. Les bandes qui signent un accord de MOF ont la possibilité de modifier et de reformuler les programmes financés par le Fédéral pour mieux répondre à leurs besoins et priorités, pourvu qu'elles respectent les critères essentiels des programmes. Elles peuvent même transférer des fonds entre différents programmes, à l'exception du programme des immobilisations. Le chef et le conseil sont donc plus comptables envers les membres de la bande et le Ministre conserve la même obligation de rendre compte au Parlement.
