Vision & Future
Our Vision
An independent Nation and interconnected community whose members are working together for all generations to re-establish our languages and all our rights, title, and responsibilities and are connected by diverse cultures, languages, and land, to promote and develop our ancestral territory and a sustainable and diverse economy.
Our Mission
To offer transparent, respectful, and efficient services to all members of the Ulkatcho First Nation and to provide opportunities for physical, cultural, spiritual, mental, economic, and social wellness within a supportive, collaborative, safe and healthy UFN membership.
Core Values
Respect
We have a special relationship with the land and water and all living things: a relationship based on a profound spiritual connection to the earth that empowers us to respect ourselves, respect each other, and respect the natural environment.
Accountability
Each one of us is responsible for the social, economic, and environmental consequences of our decisions and accountable for our actions.
Transparency
We take seriously our responsibility of fiscal openness in our decision-making while fulfilling our fiduciary responsibility to all members. Open and honest communication within our governance structure is essential to holding leaders accountable.
Trust
We believe that accountable and transparent leadership will result in reliable, trustworthy, and strong governance with respect to the management of our community affairs and ancestral lands.
Unity
We believe that our goals can be best fulfilled through cooperation and commitment to working as a team, three Nations brought together as one.
