Lands and Membership Services
The Lands program covers land holdings, surveys, mapping, legal lot descriptions, document preparation, registering interests, on-line access to Indian Lands Registry System and record keeping. Lease payments, rent reviews and insurance notices are tracked for leases. The existing management is Indian Act based.
The Indian Registry System is controlled and maintained by Aboriginal Affairs. We provide information and proper documents in order for them to make changes, such as births, marriages and deaths. We provide a variety of application forms, such as Certificate of Indian Status card, Secure Certificate of Status and gas cards.
While addressing in-house policies of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, these programs are still subject to follow Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) policies, procedures, directives and administrative e-manuals in all respects.
