What kind of governance is there on First Nations reserves?

  1. They are governed directly by the Prime Minister.

  2. There is no governance system in place.

  3. Governed by band chiefs and councillors.

  4. Managed by local municipal councils.

The correct answer is: Governed by band chiefs and councillors.

Governance on First Nations reserves is not directly controlled by the Prime Minister as mentioned in option A. Option B is incorrect as there is a governance system in place on the reserves. Option D is incorrect as First Nations reserves have their own governing bodies, not local municipal councils. The correct option, C, states that reserves are governed by band chiefs and councillors, which is a form of self-governance. This means that the community members themselves have a say in the decisions and policies that affect them, rather than being governed by an outside entity. This system of governance allows for more autonomy and self-determination for First Nations communities.
