Welcome to the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. We have occupied this region for thousands of years, continuing our traditions of hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering today just as our ancestors did before us. As stewards of the region, we have a deep understanding of our land and are committed to creating a better world for the next generation.
