The P’egp’íg’lha Council was formed based on the community desire (see History/Background) to create a system of government that was more reflective of our traditional way of life and decision making processes. The P’egp’íg’lha Council was created based on family representation.  There are 10 main family lines in the community and each of those families appoints a family head to represent their family interests in the P’egp’íg’lha Council.  The P’egp’íg’lha Council meets monthly to discuss issues and provide direction to the Tribal Chief.
