FMWB: A Place of Remarkable Indigenous Strength

The strong Cree, Dene and Métis communities here are rich in a collaborative spirit and historical, cultural and economic importance. Flourishing through economic participation shows a path forward for the rest of Canada and provides strength to our economy. We represent two paths – tradition and innovation, bridging history and the journey forward. We are a place of deep culture and tradition that goes back to before the fur trade yet tied to a place of extraordinary natural resource development. While honouring the land, we’ve become foundational to prosperity here, through leadership, pride, and a return to the Indigenous way of knowing.
