2015-2016 Annual Report & Audited
Photo Courtesy of MLT Photography The flag of the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation was officially commissioned on September 15, 1995 and was designed by Willard Ahenakew, great, great grandson of Chief Ahtahkakoop. The flag design references the Cree name “Ahtahkakoop” which translated into English means Starblanket. There are 276 stars representing the number of ancestors of the first Treaty 6 pay list of 1876, with 133 larger stars representing the men and women, and 143 stars representing the children. The Sun, Thunderbird, Medicine Staff and Buffalo represents important emblems of the Plains Cree culture. The night our namesake was born, it is said that the sky was unusually bright with many, many stars and thus he was given the name “Ahtahkakoop”. Our vision is to be a leader in Governance, Administration and Economic Development using the guiding principle of Chief Ahtahkakoop; “Let Us not think of Ourselves, but of Our Children’s Children”. Welcome to the Ahtahkakoop 2015-2016 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements. It is with great pride that we once again able to provide this report to you with all this important information and it is with great honor to say that we are in our 9th consecutive year of having an Unqualified Audit for the First Nation. As with previous years, the purpose of this publication is to inform our Band Membership of each department’s business focus, previous year’s results and new objectives for the coming years. Over the past year, we have shifted our focus to the Health and Safety of our Community. As part of community safety, we have lobbied the Federal Government for funding for a New Fire Hall and Fire Truck. -

(National Archives of Canada (NAC) / PA-66815) Written by Janice Summerby © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, 2005. Cat. No. V32-56/2005 ISBN 0-662-68750-7 Printed in Canada Native Soldiers – Foreign Battlefields Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including online learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. -

July 20, 2020 The Honourable Bill Morneau, P.C., M.P. Minister of Finance 90 Elgin Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G5 Dear Minister Morneau, We are writing you to express our support for including Canadian Indigenous war hero, Sergeant Tommy Prince, on Canada’s new $5 note. Sergeant Prince was a great Canadian who embodied duty, courage, bravery, and patriotism. After joining the Canadian Army at age 24, Sergeant Prince became a founding member of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion and the elite First Special Service Force during the Second World War. On one occasion during World War Two, Sergeant Prince trekked over 70 kilometres over mountainous terrain, without food, water or sleep for 72 hours, and was instrumental in the capture of a German battalion. He reached the rank of sergeant by war’s end, and was one of three Canadians to receive both the Silver Star and the Military Medal. His 11 medals make him the most decorated Indigenous war veteran in Canada. In August 1950, he returned to serve in the Korean War where he contributed to the stalwart defence of Hill 677 in the Battle of Kapyong. Tommy Prince is among around 15,000 Indigenous veterans who have served our country in uniform. Many served in past conflicts where upon their return from overseas service they were denied their benefits and the honour that should have rightly been accorded to veterans. It is the duty of every Canadian to understand our history and do our very best to rectify past wrongs to put us on the path to reconciliation. -
