• Exclusive power to approve the annual budget for the Tribes
• Power to authorize the Governor to enter into treaties, compacts, or any contract

The Tribal Council holds an Annual Meeting in October where many tribal issues, proposed resolutions, and community services information is disseminated and reviewed by the Tribal Council. The organizational structure of the Tribal Council is shown in the chart below.
