Fort Severn First Nation

Band Council Resolution 845 November 29, 2016

Whereas; The Fort Severn people believe strong culture, and language was what provided the community with the resiliency to maintain strong connections with the land, and the ancestors, and that without language, and culture to promote resiliency, the community will lose their sense of cultural autonomy, intellectual sovereignty, and heritage.

Whereas; The Elders say culture and language are the same thing, and that if the language is lost, so too is the culture.

Whereas; The people of Fort Severn have expressed the belief that loss of language has many harmful effects on the people to whom it belonged.

I am writing to inform the public that the Fort Severn Band offices main contact number is not working.

We do apologize for the problems that this has caused.
