Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement (ANGA)

What is the Governance Agreement?

The Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement (ANGA) is an agreement between the Anishinabek Nation and the Government of Canada that allows participating First Nations to make their own laws in key areas of community life. Sheshegwaning chose to ratify the agreement and can now create their own laws about how they elect their Chief and Council, who their citizens are, how their government operates, and how Anishinaabe language and culture are protected and promoted. The agreement also provides additional funding to help Sheshegwaning carry out these responsibilities. The governance team works closely with Sheshegwaning members to make sure laws under ANGA are developed openly and fairly, with opportunities for people to share their views. This community-driven approach helps ensure the laws reflect local values, needs, and priorities, while strengthening trust, accountability, and self-government.
