INDIAN REGISTRY AND BAND MEMBERSHIP

Indian Registry and Band Membership maintains vital statistics records and the Cowichan Tribes Band Membership list.  Cowichan Tribes took over these responsibilities from Indian Affairs and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) in 1986.

The Indian Registry is managed on behalf of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC).  INAC provides core funding and the balance is provided by the Band’s own-source revenue.  Band Membership is funded entirely by the Band's own-source revenue.

The department is managed by a certified Indian Registry Administrator.
