The Band Members Alliance and Advocacy Association of Canada (BMAAAC pronounced “bee mack”) was incorporated and registered as an autonomous, non-partisan, federal non-profit society on February 22, 2019 (Canada Corporations Registration No. 1125273-9). It is the only national organization dedicated to assisting Band members that demand good governance from their elected Chief and Council.
BMAAAC helps Band members get access to justice to hold elected Chiefs and Band Councils accountable. Although BMAAAC is driven by indigenous people, its membership is open to the general public, too.
Our mandate is to advocate on behalf of Band members in Canada that are experiencing poor governance by their Chief and Council. We achieve our mandate by retaining lawyers to take cases to court and mediation hearings for and on behalf of Band members. We also retain lawyers to provide legal opinions for Band members. Our experienced in-house team is here to help Band members across Canada.

Is your First Nation community divided? Are you on the outside looking in? We believe that reconciliation needs to take place in our communities before reconciliation can take place with Canada.
BMAAAC is available to help First Nation communities reconcile. Our experience shows us that unity is possible. Let us share with you how that can be done.
