Dauphin River First Nation

09/30/2026

Today, Dauphin River First Nation stands together to honour the Survivors of residential schools, to remember the children who never made it home, and to hold close the families who continue to live with the impacts of this painful history.

For us, Orange Shirt Day is deeply personal. These are not simply stories from the past. They are the experiences of our parents, grandparents, relatives and community members, and their strength and resilience live on in our people today.

As Chief, I believe one of the greatest ways we can honour those who came before us is by creating a strong future for our children — one where they know who they are, where they come from, and where our language, culture and traditions are celebrated and protected.
Today we remember. We honour. And we continue forward together. God bless.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

A Heartfelt Thank You for Treaty Days

On behalf of Dauphin River First Nation, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Treaty Days Committee, volunteers, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, families, youth, and every community member who helped make Treaty Days such a meaningful and successful gathering.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate, share their knowledge, celebrate our culture, and come together as a community. Events like Treaty Days remind us of the importance of honouring our Treaties, strengthening our relationships, and passing our traditions on to the next generation.

A special thank you to all those who worked behind the scenes to organize, prepare, cook, coordinate, and make sure everyone felt welcome. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended and brought such wonderful energy and community spirit. Our Nation is strongest when we come together.

Miigwetch and god bless to everyone who helped make Treaty Days a celebration of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going together.

With gratitude,�Chief Letander
