Fort Severn First Nation (FSFN) is Ontario’s northern most community. We are part of Keewaytinook Okimakanak, which means Northern Chiefs in Oji-Cree, a non-political Chiefs Council serving Deer Lake, Fort Severn, Keewaywin, McDowell Lake, North Spirit Lake and Poplar Hill First Nations.

Our mission is to nurture and build a safe, healthy, value-based community, that is rooted in Cree culture; is connected and contributes to the global economy; where everyone is able to access to education, economic progress, technology and leadership; where each member has a pride in our heritage and has a high self-esteem.

FSFN operates a self-government elected by the community. The Band Council, through community consultations optimizes use of funds for various programs in the community, makes investments for the future of its community members and ploughs back the revenues it earns into infrastructure and resources.

The sustainability of FSFN is rooted in the culture and heritage of indigenous Cree people.
