Modern Tools for Traditional Governance
Tribal councils and governance bodies carry the weight of their communities, but too often the tools they use are not up to the job. Meeting minutes get lost, decisions are disputed because they were never properly recorded, and community members feel disconnected from the process. TribesOnTribes brings structure, transparency, and permanence to traditional governance.
What Does Your Council Get?
Council Announcements
Official council decisions, community notices, and governance updates reach every member with the priority they deserve. Track who has read each announcement so important governance communications are accounted for.
Governance Records
Document council resolutions, community bylaws, customary law interpretations, and meeting minutes as permanent, searchable records. Governance decisions deserve better than handwritten notes that fade with time.
Community Forum
Community members discuss governance matters, share concerns, and provide input on decisions that affect them. A transparent forum where every voice can be heard by the council.
Council Elections
Elect council members, committee chairs, and community representatives with formal ballots and transparent results. Chief-and-council elections that the entire community can trust.
Council Meetings & Hearings
Schedule council meetings, community hearings, and governance events with proper RSVPs and recurring schedules. From weekly council sittings to annual general meetings, everything is coordinated.
Community Consultation
Consult the community on policy decisions, development priorities, and governance matters. Simple polls let every member weigh in before the council makes a final decision.
Community Development Fund
Manage community levies, development contributions, and project funds with full transparency. Every contribution is tracked, and the community can see exactly where the money stands.
Governance Roles
Post council positions, committee roles, and volunteer opportunities. Community members apply, and the council tracks who has been appointed or is still being considered.
Leadership Mentorship
Pair experienced council members with emerging leaders to pass on governance knowledge, mediation skills, and institutional memory. The next generation of leaders should not have to start from scratch.
Governance Projects
Manage community development projects with tasks, team assignments, and milestone tracking. Infrastructure, education, health, every project gets the coordination it deserves.
Service Recognition
Honor council members, elders, and community servants who have given years of dedicated service. Custom honors and badges that recognize the people who keep governance working.
Wards & Committees
Create sub-groups for wards, villages, committees, and task forces within the governance structure. Each group operates independently while reporting up to the main council.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can we draft and publish community bylaws?
- Yes. Use Chronicles to draft, publish, and maintain community bylaws and governance documents. They become permanent, searchable records that every community member can access. Updates and amendments are published as new articles, creating a clear trail of governance evolution.
- How do chief-and-council elections work?
- Create a Ballot with candidates for each position. Community members vote step by step through each race. Results are revealed when the council decides, and the entire process is preserved as a permanent record. You can also group multiple elections into a single ballot session.
- Is it suitable for village-level governance?
- Yes. Whether you are a village council, a regional tribal government, or a council of elders, the platform scales to fit. Sub-groups let you create wards, committees, and task forces that mirror your actual governance structure.
