EstablishedBon Homme Colony, founded in 1874 in what is now South Dakota under Michael Waldner, was the first Hutterite colony in North America and is still inhabited; it did not move to Canada after World War I.EstablishedColony decisions are generally taken in two tiers: a council of senior men decides first, and significant decisions go to a vote of the married male members; practice varies between branches.EstablishedIn Hofer v. Hofer (1970) the Supreme Court of Canada held that, under Hutterite religious tenets, members hold no individual property, so expelled members of Interlake Colony were not entitled to a share of colony property.
