If you have an interest in serving on the board please contact any advisory council member and let us know. The Advisory Council meets once a month in person, and once a week on-line. We also need people who are not on the advisory council to be part of the Family Selection Nutsamaat. This work will involve reviewing application from prospective partner families, interviewing families and working together to achieve consensus on the choosing the families that will enter into partnerships with the Tetla Tsetsuwatil in building their family home.

Steve Alphonse and Meaghie Champion are also planning to work with Speaker and Elder Kwulthustun  or Suhilton (Willie Seymour) to develop a constitution in Hul'qumi'num. This constitution will be comprised of the teachings of our ancestors (Snuwuwyl) and will be the principles under which this advisory board will work together according to the values and principles that are consistent with our traditional culture and teachings.
