MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEFS
Our land claim is a process that has seen many Chiefs and members of Council involved in the file. From Chief James Mason, Chief Ralph Akiwenzie, to Chief Randall Kahgee and Chief Vern Roote and others who have kept up the fight for many years, it has been a long process getting our claim to trial.

It's been my privilege to have had the opportunity to serve with most of these Chiefs and look forward to settling our land claim.
Kitchi Meegwith,
