It is the desire of the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ government to govern in a manner that is responsible, transparent, democratic and accountable, blending hereditary and modern-day governing institutions. In doing so, our governing structures honour our past and embrace the future ensuring the continued existence of the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ First Nation as a strong political, social and cultural community that aspires us to grow as an organized, determined, successful and self-reliant peoples.” Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Government Act, Preamble
