History
The idea of a Tribal Council to represent the unique position of Slokasian Indigenous people was first proposed in the 1970s. This was primarily by the third-way National Unity Party. In 1979, Raymond Chen-Hu organized the first Tribal Congress of Indigenous Leaders. The primary goal was to support the self-government of tribes. After 1985, 10 tribal areas were given autonomy like a township. During the Second Kaijan War, many tribal activists joined Kaijanese rebels over frustrations with govermeant recognition. As part of his plan for Kaijanese development, the Tribal Council was proposed, and with the support of their more left-wing government partners, the Tribal Representation and Governance Act was passed in 2011. All 14 tribes with tribal areas were given one seat to be decided by tribal members, in whatever way the local tribe decided. Most tribes picked a two-round jungle primary method to decide their representative, however, the Tamna People of the Northern Isles use a popular primary of all tribe members regardless of voting status.
