Chief & Council

Discover Strong, Visionary Leadership at Seabird Island

For over 140 years, Seabird Island has flourished under the guidance of dedicated, community-focused leaders. Our elected Chief and eight-person Council represent our voice locally, provincially, nationally, and within respected First Nations organizations. Their governance upholds our sovereignty while creating new opportunities.

Through strategic initiatives, our Directors and Chiefs have driven incredible growth – evolving our small Band into a thriving force for change. We walk hand-in-hand with our people, confronting each challenge through unity and vision.

Our purpose remains constant: to uplift our community through economic development, education, wellness, and culture. We invest in our entrepreneurs, support students, and improve healthcare from birth onwards.

Soon, full self-governance will allow us to manage our lands as our ancestors once did. This sovereignty will empower future generations while strengthening our nation as a whole.

Our journey continues thanks to fearless, compassionate leaders dedicated to our people. Experience the power of shared purpose at Seabird Island. Together, we will reach new heights.

Jim Harris

Chief

In the past I was a Council Member for 18 years from 1999 till 2017 when the new election code came into place. For a number of those years I was part of the Council’s executive committee.

I would also like to keep up the work with all levels of non First Nation governments. This needs to be done to have and keep good relations with them. We need to make sure these governments include all the surrounding First Nations councils and their membership.
