Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council

Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council was established in Brandon, Manitoba in August 1974, which essentially involved the South West Region of Manitoba Indian Brotherhood. The Original purpose and intent of DOTC was to take over the delivery of programs from the Brandon District Office of INAC. Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council adopted the following objective: “To facilitate the development of Reserve Government at the pace decided upon by each member Reserve; by making sure there is total participation in direction of obtaining adequate funds in accordance to the needs of member Reserves; assisting in transferring authority, responsibility of activities to the communities; providing a vehicle by which the communities assist each other in all aspects of Reserve development; assisting in the creation of a method of operation acceptable to the members of the Tribal Council which is consistent with the responsibility and obligations of the Government of Canada”. In 1974 the initial Administrative Unit of the DOTC comprised of one receptionist, one executive secretary, two government advisors and one technical services personnel. Since 2002, the DOTC Administrative Unit consisted of one Chief Executive Officer, one Director of Finance, three finance clerks, one executive assistant and two executive secretaries. As of August 2009, the position of Director of Operations was reinstated. DOTC is the predecessor of all existing Tribal Councils in Canada.
