Today, MKO Grand Chief Garrison Settee was honoured to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Jennifer Flett as the newly elected MLA for The Pas-Kameesak at the Manitoba Legislative Building.

We congratulate MLA Flett on this important milestone and recognize her longstanding commitment to public service, community leadership, and advocacy on behalf of northern Manitoba. Her oath of office also serves as a moment to reflect on the legacy of the late Amanda Lathlin, whose groundbreaking leadership and dedication to the people of this riding will never be forgotten.

Grand Chief Settee had the great privilege of joining Grand Chief Wastesicoot at the Keewatin Tribal Council Youth Leading the North 2026 Youth Summit.
A gathering full of incredible energy featuring nearly 150 young people and chaperones from the 11 Nations of KTC.
The Grand Chiefs used the opportunity to remind the youth that they are the future of the north. The next great NHL player or actor or doctor or lawyer could come right from this room of amazing youth!

Missinippi Days in the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation is the perfect time of the year to reunite family and friends who travel home for a week of friendly competition and traditional foods.

Community Engagement in Mathias Colomb Cree Nation

On August 11, 2026, the MKO Community Safety & Wellbeing team visited Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (MCCN) to engage with community members and gather valuable input for the development of the community's Safety and Wellbeing Plan.
