Executive staff enact the direction and vision mandated by the board of directors, which is made up of the six members of the First Nation Chiefs.

The executive team also provides operational management to support departmental coordination and oversight of contracts between KO and its partners. The executive liaises with the Chiefs to provide information to support community priorities for the benefit of the membership.

Vision

KO communities will have the awareness and capacity to address their land opportunities and issues utilizing both traditional and western knowledge systems and processes.

Mission

Through program development and research, we will build community awareness, leadership capacity and opportunities regarding Treaties, lands, and resources.
