The beat of the drum and his powerful voice echoed throughout the gymnasium. The people of Treaty 8 then lined to congratulate me and the Chiefs gave extended words of encouragement. Elders, Chiefs, ladies and gentlemen, it’s been an honour to have served as the Grand Chief, it’s been quite the experience and humbling. I appreciate the confidence you had in me to carry out my duties. Today it’s my turn to extend my hand to each and every one of you. To offer gratitude, appreciation and humility and thanks! On behalf of the Executive board, it’s a pleasure to present the 2012 – 2013 Annual Report. Although the fiscal year ended, our work continues and will continue as long as sun shines, the grass grows and the waters flow. Our People will move forward in solidarity to maintain our treaty rights. What will stand out for me will be Idle no More - to see such a movement wake up the Aboriginal voice, not only in Treaty 8 but across the country and the world. This has prompted Treaty 8 First Nations Voice to awake as well. I recall being in Ottawa, it was cold and raining when I received my marching orders to go meet with the Prime Minister of Canada. Upon arrival at PMO we (Chiefs) were escorted up to his board room, a moment of “what did I get myself into” came into my mind but then I heard drumming, chanting, singing and the voices of thousands of people, I knew what I had to do and I did it! Our assemblies and meeting have a common factor where the host drummers will drum and sing the Grand Entry of the Eagle Staff and Flags, where Chiefs and veterans bring the flags in. A flag song followed by a veteran song and concluded by a victory song. With the closing ceremony of the assembly the drum group will retire the flags with drum and song. No matter where I’ve been, east to west to north, the beat of the drum is strong and feeds me the strength to carry out my duties as your Grand Chief. Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta Chiefs have caucused regarding the changes to provincial and federal regulations and legislation. We also caucused with the Grand Chiefs from Treaty 7 and Treaty 6. To let our position known through this journey. We move forward and maintain our progress, we must find the solidarity to stick out not alone but as a people. Quote late Chief Walter Twinn “I saw Indian problems as and economic problems. But prosperity doesn’t solve everything. To keep our culture alive, we need to know our spiritual beliefs. We need strong reserve communities…. Cree people have to be yourself. Nobody can do it for you. If you want to walk tall and proud, you have to be a contributor.” This goes for the people of the Dene, Beaver, Chipewyan, Sioux and Blackfoot, Blood all our relations… May the creator watch over us and our ancestors guide us and you believe in us!

T8FNA is always happy to take every opportunity to report on our activities and this year, we once again have a great deal of information to share. The Elders and T8FNA Executive Board have provided a strong and positive contribution to the ability to focus on our Treaty and Aboriginal rights. The Elders and Executive Board gave their time, guidance and direction to T8FNA while at the same time, serving their people and communities and fulfilling their duties and obligations. The Elders have shown their support in a strong way; T8FNA is appreciative and grateful for their valuable information, insight, and particularly their prayers that we know not only helps and protect us but also motivates us in the very important work that we do. The employees of T8FNA are outstanding group of individuals. They have shown they are dedicated, knowledgeable and experienced in a variety of ways that complement not only each other but T8FNA as a whole. The staff is definitely to be commended for their continued efforts to perform their duties and responsibilities without hesitation. T8FNA extends its’ thanks to all of you who have contributed to our operations and success in the past and wish the best for you in your future endeavors! Financially, as reported by the Auditors, we maintained strong operating results with an unqualified audit and no deficit. This puts T8FNA in strong position to maintain operations and continue to advocate for lasting recognition of our Treaty Rights. Numerous issues continue to arise at a very fast pace and from all directions, particularly with the Government of Alberta. We are, however, confident with the Elders, Chiefs and the Executive Board’s support and direction, we will continue on the right path. Working together can only make us more effective, and help us to reach our goal of success for all our people and communities in Treaty 8 territory! While this year has shown many changes and adjustments for T8FNA,with challenging and difficult circumstances at times, T8FNA continues to ensure that the circumstances are dealt with as smoothly and efficiently as possible. It is the intention ofT8FNA to remain true to the vision, spirit and intent of Treaty No. 8 and ensure the strength of our Treaty, “for as long as the sun shines …”.
