The FSIN consists of Chiefs-in-Assembly, a Senate, an Elders Council, an Executive, an Executive Council, and an Indian Government Commission.
The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) is devoted to upholding the spirit and intent of the provincial treaties signed in the 1870s. The roots of the FSIN can be found in the 1940s when Indigenous representatives met in Fort Qu'Appelle in 1946 to discuss the need for an organization to represent the Indigenous peoples of Saskatchewan on issues of rights. The result was the Union of Saskatchewan Indians. The Union title references the coming together of three Indigenous groups including the Protective Association for the Indians and their Treaties, the League of Indians of Western Canada, and the Association of Saskatchewan Indians. As conditions evolved, Indigenous representatives decided in 1958 to design the organization as a loose federation of bands with decisive powers delegated to local Chiefs. In 1982, at a meeting of 69 Chiefs, this renewed organization changed its name to the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians. In May 2016, the name was adjusted to become the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations
