WORKING TOGETHER AS ONE
Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council supports its member nations in realizing their efforts towards self-reliance, self-governance, connection to culture, and quality of life now and for future generations.
Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council (NmTC) proudly serves 10 Coast Salish member Nations, located on Vancouver Island and the BC Coast.
NmTC was incorporated as a non-profit society in 1983, under the name "Alliance Tribal Council," to provide support in five core delivery areas: economic development, finance and administration, community planning, technical services, and governance. Over the past 38 years, our services have expanded to reflect the values and priorities of our members.
Naut'sa mawt Tribal Council is funded by Indigenous and Northern Development Canada's Tribal Council Policy Program. We augment our resources from our own-source revenue, including joint ventures, corporate subsidiaries, event management, and project management services.
