Incorporated in 1979 as a non-profit society
The Carrier Sekani Tribal Council (CSTC) is a registered non-profit society, incorporated in 1979.
Governed by a board of directors
We are governed by a board of directors who are the Chief Councillors from each First Nation. We are led by an elected Tribal Chief and Vice-Tribal Chief. Our operations are carried out by a professional staff of 18 full-time personnel.
Our objective is to help our member nations achieve self-reliance through the delivery of support services in the following areas:
● Community planning (Territorial & Reserve Lands)
● Economic development
● Education
● Financial management
● Natural resources: Fisheries, Forestry, Mining, Oil/Gas
● Technical Services (Reserve Lands)

We also assist our member nations in their collective efforts to secure their rights to their traditional lands and resources. To further the work we do, we maintain political affiliations with the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nations Summit (FNS).
