CONT

Self-governing First Nations do not fall under the purview of the Indian Act. They establish their own laws and policies in a broad range of matters internal to their communities and integral to their cultures and traditions, including leadership selection. Self-governing First Nations elect their leadership through individual election processes which vary depending on the First Nation and are often unique to the specific community.

CONT

Les Premières Nations autonomes ne tombent pas sous le coup de la Loi sur les Indiens. Elles établissent leurs propres lois et politiques relativement à une vaste gamme d'affaires internes, et ce, dans le respect de leur culture et de leurs traditions, y compris la sélection des dirigeants. Les Premières Nations autonomes choisissent leurs dirigeants dans le cadre de processus distincts qui diffèrent d'une Première Nation à l'autre et sont généralement propres à une collectivité.
