Indigenous Councils are governing bodies formed by Indigenous communities to make decisions and manage local affairs. These councils often consist of elected or appointed members who represent the interests of their community. They play a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage, managing resources, and advocating for the rights of their people. These councils can vary in structure and function depending on the specific Indigenous group and their unique traditions. They may engage with local, regional, and national governments to address issues such as land rights, education, and health services, ensuring that the voices of Indigenous peoples are heard and respected.
