The Stewardship Council was established to protect the interest of the Tsilhqot'in territory in forestry, tourism and proposed mining activity.

Goal: The Stewardship Council is a key initiative developed by the Tsilhqot'in National Government (TNG) and member communities to increase Tsilhqot'in involvement in and influence on land and resource management in the Tsilhqot'in Territory

Mandate: To research and report on revenue-sharing (e.g. Forest and Range Agreements/Opportunities) and develop a Tsilhqot'in Stewardship Planning Framework.

Objectives:

1. "Improve communication between the TNG Stewardship Department and various government agencies, TNG Chiefs and Tsilhqot'in communities. "

2. Provide guidance to the Stewardship Department staff on how to address referrals and other land and resource management issues affecting their community.

3. Develop land and resource management/stewardship policy recommendations for presentation to the Tsilhqot'in Council of Chiefs and member community governments.

Decision Making:The Stewardship Council does not take away or assume any of the decision-making authority of elected band councils or the Council of Chiefs.

Membership : Each community can appoint up to 2 members through a Band Council Resolution. The term of membership is yet to be determined.
