Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council (NmTC) proudly serves 10 Coast Salish Member Nations, located on Vancouver Island and the BC Coast. 

Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council walks alongside our Member Nations on their journey towards self-determination and reclamation of culture by facilitating programs and services that positively impact Indigenous Peoples.  We are governed by a Board of Directors and guided by the wisdom of our Elders Council. We were incorporated as a non-profit society in 1983, and work Naut’sa mawt (together as one, with one heart and one mind) to reflect the values and priorities of our Members. ​

 

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.
