The Chinook Nation is governed by a nine member Council which includes a Chairman, Vice Chairman and a Secretary/Treasurer. Officers are elected by the General Assembly and serve a three year term.

Regular Council members are elected by the General Assembly and serve three year terms. If there is a vacancy on the Council it can be filled by a majority vote of the Council and that new Councilperson will fill the unexpired portion of the term vacated.

The Council meets monthly on the second Saturday of the month, except in June when the General Assembly meets on the Third Saturday of June. Meetings begin at 11:00 a.m.

Meetings are open to all Tribal members and their immediate family only.

Meet our Council members.
