Home/Governance
Chief & Council
The elected leadership of One Arrow First Nation, their portfolios and how to reach them.
One Arrow is governed by an elected Chief and eight Councillors. Every member of Council carries named portfolios, so there is a specific person responsible for each area of the Nation, from health and housing through to lands, justice and economic development.
Council members publish direct phone numbers and email addresses. If your question sits inside a particular portfolio, going straight to that Councillor is usually faster than going through the band office.
