Chi-Nakinagewin

Biigtigong Nishnaabeg is governed by a Chi-Nakinagewin (the Great Law or Constitution) which was ratified in 2015 by the First Nation. This is the foundation of the laws that will be developed in the coming years to assert jurisdiction within our community and within our ancestral lands. Currently, BN operates under the Indian Act legislation as we work towards self-government and maintaining our sovereignty.
