Transfer and transformation are guided by a three-part governance structure that includes:

Six First Nations regional Caucuses

Caucuses

Each Caucus, through its own process, is responsible for appointing that number of persons who are either a Chief or a Councillor of a First Nation to serve on the Keewatinohk Inniniw Okimowin Council (KIOC), as set out in the bylaws to serve as the members.

There are currently 6 caucuses representing 23 First Nation communities.

Keewatinohk Inniniw Okimowin Council (KIOC)

Members are appointed by each Caucus and must be a Chief or Councilor of a First Nation. This group forms the membership of the corporation. 

The KIOC appoints the Board of Directors, advocates for Keewatinohk Inniniw Minoayawin, and is the only part of the governance structure with the authority to change the bylaws.
