In terms of a collective right, a band council resolution could potentially capture that idea, where you have members of the band who are represented by their council, and the council is a democratic representation, so they are acting on behalf of the collective if they provide a band council resolution. A band vote, I suppose, is the most direct indication of the consent of the membership because everyone votes for or against, but you could take it one step removed and have a band council resolution. That could signify consent of the membership since that council is democratically elected.
