The Office of the Wet’suwet’en serves as the central office for the Wet’suwet’en Nation. Since before European contact, the Wet’suwet’en have lived in the region. The Office provides several services to the Wet’suwet’en Nation including governance, land, resources, fisheries, wildlife, and social development. A board of directors manages the Office’s activities while the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs provide leadership. As the Office is not a band or tribal council, it receives core funding from any form of government. As a result, the Office must proactively secure funding and ensure that program goals are met.
