I am a Native American Indian from the Tewa Tribe Nambé Pueblo, which is located in northern New Mexico. I am the former Governor of my Tribe and was much honored to serve my community in this position. I will provide my answer, though I do not represent all Native Americans. Your question is not very specific. There are many Native American Councils. Each Tribe typically has a Tribal Council that serves as the Tribe's highest governmental leaders, similar to the United States Congress. Tribal Councils may also be made up of traditional officials within Tribal communities and provide leadership, advice and direction for their people. Tribal Councils can also serve varying roles as business boards for their Tribes, legislative authorities in developing laws, and judicial authorities or judges such as those of the United States Supreme Court for their Tribal courts. There are also many varying organizations that have Native American Councils that serve as Tribal advisors to colleges. There is a national organization call the National Congress of American Indians that serves as a national forum for Indian Tribes. There is another national organization called the Council of Energy Resource Tribes, which I used to work for in the capacity as Operations Manager. This Council was made up 57 Indian Tribes in the United States and Canada and served to advance the energy interests of Tribes. Hope this short answer is of help.
