Governance
The Council was formed in 2008 to serve five Ojibwe First Nations in western Robinson-Superior Treaty area. Since its creation, one First Nation left the council but another First Nation joined the council, concentrating the membership to the Lake Nipigon area of Robinson-Superior Treaty area. In turn, majority of the Nokiiwin Tribal Council member First Nations are also members of Union of Ontario Indians, a Tribal Political Organization that represents many of the Anishinaabe First Nation governments in Ontario.
