Tm̓xwulaʔxʷ Pillar(life-force-place)

Key points in the Governance ToR Captíkʷł (oral stories) is our governance instructions that are mandated by our Acmiscut Chiefs (Knowledge Keepers) to ensure that the right actions are required as a responsibility to our worldview of our “Inherent Rights”. These ethos are shown in our Captíkʷł ceremonial displays, in public rituals, in the Nsyilxcen (our language) interpretive process, and in the direct exercises of practice and interests (occupation and use) that connect us to the whole of the Tm̓xʷúlaʔxʷ (also known as the environment or Land). These Captíkʷł ethics are the cornerstone for achieving equity maxims on government-to-government relationships.

Key sections of the Governance To:

• Abide by the “Worldview: the unwritten Ethnos-The Way It Is –  Captíkʷł Ethic that is mandated by Chief and Council on Governance Approach
• Implement the Four Chiefs Perspectives, which is: the role of the four chiefs (Yilmixwm) is to ensure the principles of the Enowkinwixʷ ethics are followed during the process of decision-making,
• The Four Yilmixw’m (Chiefs) Model:
• Guiding Principles: Enowkinwixʷ Principles
• Governance Decision Making Policy.
