Our goal is to ensure the Nation has a clear understanding of the impacts to our treaty rights as guaranteed under the Constitution section 35.

Caribou were once abundantly seen on the landscape and were a source of subsistence, but colonization, human settlements and intensive habitat destruction from industry resulted in a collapse in population numbers. The loss of this integral animal left the community unable to harvest caribou and has infringed on treaty rights. Saulteau First Nations and West Moberly First Nations came together with a collaborative vision to bring back the caribou population; this vision led to the Caribou Partnership Agreement with British Columbia and Canda. For over 10 years this agreement has led to collaboratively implementing management and research for the Klinse-Za Mountain Caribou Herd.
A multi-pronged approach is used, maternal penning, reduction in predators, and restoration of habitat. SFN is part of all aspects of the project from; caribou guardians watching over the maternal pen, community members trapping predators, land guardians assisting with restoration work to the TREP staff providing knowledge and support to the program. In 2013 there were under 40 animals left, we have boosted the population to over 140 in 2024!
