Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council was established in Brandon, Manitoba in August
1974, which essentially involved the South West Region of Manitoba Indian
Brotherhood. The Original purpose and intent of DOTC was to take over the
delivery of programs from the Brandon District Office of INAC. Dakota Ojibway
Tribal Council adopted the following objective: “To facilitate the development
of Reserve Government at the pace decided upon by each member Reserve; by making
sure there is total participation in direction of obtaining adequate funds in
accordance to the needs of member Reserves; assisting in transferring authority,
responsibility of activities to the communities; providing a vehicle by which
the communities assist each other in all aspects of Reserve development;
assisting in the creation of a method of operation acceptable to the members of
the Tribal Council which is consistent with the responsibility and obligations
of the Government of Canada”. In 1974 the initial Administrative Unit of the
DOTC comprised of one receptionist, one executive secretary, two government
advisors and one technical services personnel. Since 2002, the DOTC
Administrative Unit consisted of one Chief Executive Officer, one Director of
Finance, three finance clerks, one executive assistant and two executive
secretaries. As of August 2009, the position of Director of Operations was
reinstated. DOTC is the predecessor of all existing Tribal Councils in Canada.
