Grand Chief Walter Wastesicoot

Advocating for the interests and rights of our communities.

Working with our communities and their leadership to help them achieve long-term goals that will help their communities grow and prosper.

My goal is to be a Grand Chief who is in regular communication with each of the First Nations and knows their challenges and goals, working together to benefit each of them when dealing with government, agencies and with the private sectors. Our collective leadership has to have a voice, who can speak and articulate our communities desires and aspirations
