Indigenous Peoples in Canada are continuing to assert their right to self-determination in this era of reconciliation. While dozens of Indigenous communities have signed varying forms of self-government agreements with the federal government, Indigenous Nations still face many obstacles along the path to true self-determination.
As a former Chief of Siksika Nation in southern Alberta, Leroy Wolf Collar dealt with many of the same problems other Indigenous Nations face across the country. From serious housing shortages to the lack of opportunities for youth, Chief Wolf Collar experienced the challenges and frustrations that come from operating in a colonial system still constrained by the Indian Act.
How do Indigenous Peoples move on from this defective system? Chief Wolf Collar identifies 17 issues that currently hinder Indigenous Nationsincluding broken treaty promises, problems with common forms of band administration, and the intrusion of provincial governmentsalong with potential solutions to overcome them.
This guide is for current and aspiring Indigenous leaders who want to increase their understanding of good governance, management, and leadership, as well as those who want to explore issues around Indigenous self-determination in Canada.

Diverse Political Needs, Overlapping Political Organizations
I would like to acknowledge my wife, Marsha Rose Wolf Collar, for her love and support throughout the time it took me to complete this book. She always encourages me to share my knowledge and experience as a former Councillor and Chief, in hopes that I can inspire future First Nations leaders into becoming stronger, healthier leaders representing their communities.
I thank my former colleagues from years past, who served with me from 1993 to 2010. They were a positive influence in my political journey as a Councillor and Chief; I couldnt have done it without them. I especially want to recognize the Chiefs and Councillors I served with who are not with us today. They too were true leaders whose goal was to create a better quality of life for our members, equal to that which is enjoyed by ordinary Canadians.
I want to also take this time to acknowledge the following people, who I consider experts in the areas of Indigenous law and governance. These individuals took time out of their busy schedules to review my book and then offered constructive feedback and recommendations aimed at improving the content. They are as follows: Cameron Alexis, Dr. Andrew Bear Robe, Carolyn Buffalo, and Brian Calliou.
Finally, I want to thank the Creator for always being there for me and my family.
Oki, I am honoured to be writing the foreword for this long-awaited book. Ive had the pleasure of spending a lot of time discussing what Leroy wrote in this book, and I often encouraged him to share his knowledge and experiences through literature. Ive always appreciated and acknowledged Leroys gift of writing.
One day, I walked into Leroys study in his home and observed the many books placed neatly on the bookshelves. I inquired as to how many of these books he had actually read, to which he replied, Ive read all of them. Leroy is an avid reader, keen listener, rigorous researcher, accomplished public speaker, and a talented writer.
Leroy is also fluent in our Siksika language. He shared a story with me about how he overheard two individuals engaging in a Siksika dialogue and the surprise on their faces as he entered their conversation. Leroys ability to understand and speak the Siksika language has assisted him in mitigating communication barriers for community members and creating meaningful interchanges.
Leroy credits his Siksika upbringing, family members, and Elders who were instrumental in teaching him the language, values, teachings, culture, and the strengths of who we are as Siksika people.
Ive shared with people that if you want to engage in a conversation with Leroy on political matters, you better have your facts and know what youre talking about; otherwise, listen and you will learn from his expertise.
As a former Chief with experience in First Nations governance, I strongly encourage readers who want to understand the political world of First Nations issues to read this book. Any politician, whether seasoned or novice, may find that this book can assist in facilitating discussions surrounding self-determination. My only regret in commencing my political career is that I didnt have a book like this one to reference or guide me. Thank you, Leroy, for a book I believe will help all First Peoples!
May the Creator help all those who read this book and help them in their own way to achieve their goals. This book will create critical conversations and challenge us to work hard for our children, grandchildren, and future generations. Many blessings.
