This First Nations Eligibility & Enrolment (E&E) guide was developed to assist First Nations with preparations for treaty ratification on their journey toward self-governance.
The guide delves into roles and responsibilities of staff and committees members; work-planning and budgeting; procedures; and best practices to strengthen First Nations capacity for self-government and promote effective community engagement.
It also includes key terms, considerations, practical strategies, real examples, and documents and templates that can be adapted First Nations’ unique needs, diverse circumstances, and forms of governance. As this is a new tool, it will be updated over time with input from First Nations and government.
