Nisga'A Lisims Government

Proud British Columbians and Canadians, Nisga’a citizens are responsible for building and maintaining our own institutions. The Nisga’a Nation is represented by Nisga’a Lisims Government (NLG) — a modern, forward-thinking administration based on traditional culture and values. Nisga’a Government has the authority to pass laws on a broad range of matters. At the same time, Nisga’a lawmaking authority is concurrent with federal and provincial authority. Designed to assure democracy, transparency, and accountability, Nisga’a Government is comprised of NLG, the four Nisga’a Village Governments, and three Urban Locals.
