  • Mikisew Cree First Nation
    MIKISEW CREE FIRST NATION mikisewcree.ca OPPORTUNITY PROFILE │ Chief Financial Officer ABOUT MIKISEW CREE FIRST NATION Mikisew Cree First Nation signed Treaty 8 in 1899. The Mikisew Cree have resided in Northeastern Alberta since time immemorial. The Peace-Athabasca Delta, which is in the centre of their traditional lands, is a unique international ecosystem which is cherished. It is the source of much that sustains them. When the fur trade came west and established a trading fort in this area, the Mikisew Cree were among those who traded furs. The traditional lands of the Mikisew Cree First Nation range over much of the area where the Athabasca Oil Sands deposits have been found. Mikisew Cree First Nation shares this territory with four other First Nations that make up the Athabasca Tribal Council. At the present time, most Mikisew Cree First Nation members reside in Fort McMurray, Edmonton, Fort Smith, NWT and Fort Chipewyan. Their Nation has the largest population of the five Athabasca Tribal Council Nations. In 1986, a Treaty Land Entitlement was signed with Canada that created several Reserves in and around the Fort Chipewyan area and into the area north of Lake Athabasca. The Mikisew Cree First Nation is proud of their heritage, and confident in its bright future. THE OPPORTUNITY Accountable to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer participates as an integral member of the senior management team and performs duties in accordance with the mandate and priorities of the Mikisew Cree First Nation Administration. The Chief Financial Officer will coordinate, administer, and supervise the day-to-day financial activities of the organization.

The Aboriginal consultation process is designed to be ongoing from initial planning through construction, operations, and decommissioning of the proposed Project. UTS & Teck Cominco have developed this consultation plan for a number of reasons. The Crown has determined that the Project triggers consultation. Therefore, the Alberta’s First Nation Consultation Guidelines on Land Management and Resource Development requirements must be met. The Project has the potential to impact areas traditionally used by Aboriginal communities for hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering and other culturally significant activities. Finally, UTS & Teck Cominco recognizes that several Aboriginal communities may be affected by the proposed Project and intends to develop long‐lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with those communities. Project Description The proposed Frontier Project consists of a mining and bitumen extraction and processing facility to be developed in phases. Phase 1 is currently planned to be located on UTS and Teck Cominco’s jointly owned Leases 311, 468, 470, 477 and 610 on the west side of the Athabasca River in Townships 010 and 101 Range 11.

    Rebuilding Resilient Indigenous Communities in the RMWB: Final Report 1. Rebuilding Resilient Indigenous Communities in the RMWB Executive Report Timothy David Clark April 2018 Timothy David Clark October 2018 “We were on our own.” “This wound is still very, very raw. We’re not healed.” “That's what's bothering me right now: it's just like, I give up. I'm scared again. I've got no drive anymore. I didn't give up but I'm at that point where I don't care anymore.” “It was totally devastating. I just remember going by the house, the old homestead. And I cried, because it was gone. We were brought up there, raised there, the whole family. And the things that you lose, from parent's stuff and that, it’s all gone. It don't matter if you lose all your furniture. That can be replaced. But this stuff will never be replaced.” “If you ever fly over this fire, or for those of us that have that opportunity, you can see it, just like a dragon’s breath. When that dragon comes back again he's still got lots to burn, and if we're not ready we're gonna go this time. We got lucky last time. That’s what we did: we got lucky.” “Coming back to see the disaster, my hometown, we drove around and everything was ashes. I don't know, it's hard to explain how you felt in your mind, your heart, your soul. Everything was gone. But the whole thing is, I had some trees.
