Value
Our people – Our people and the development of our people as well rounded, confident leaders for our Nations through programs like Future Fishers and ATF Providers.
Conservation – in relation to ATF is above all else. No resource means no ATF, which means no benefit to the Nations. Sustainable Harvesting is the only way.
Stewardship - to govern and manage fish, fish habitat, and fisheries, and act as effective stewards of all water within our territory.
Monitoring and Reporting – stewardship, sustainability and conservation are not possible without objective, honest, accurate and verifiable reporting of all ATF activities.

Transparent - We ensure an open decision-making process, and opportunities to express ourselves.
Community Focused - We remember that every decision is for the future of the people.
Effective - We establish and adhere to ATF policies and procedures
