Saugeen First Nation #29 (SFN) is made up of a distinct Anishnaabek Nation. We are comprised of the Three Fires Confederacy.

We continue to use and apply our customs and traditions as we have since time immemorial.

Saugeen First Nation #29 is a vibrant and healthy nation, united in its vision to build prosperity for all its peoples.

Our Elders, Council, and Administrative Leadership will work together to improve the long-term health, happiness and prosperity of our community by:

• Balancing long-term and short-term decisions, risks, rewards and socio-economic goals
• Separating economic and social program development, while balancing the efforts in both areas
• Developing strategic plans which transcend Council terms, and tracking out progress using key performance indicators
• Building long-term economic prosperity by integrating our traditional knowledge and skills, increasing youth employment, and enhancing the value of our lands and infrastructure
• Leveraging the community’s access to capital, and investing in sustainable, long-term, socio economic development programs.

We act in accordance with our core values, and strive to consistently follow these guiding principles:

• Community – we work together for the highest good of all
• Pride, perseverance, and resilience – we overcome our challenges
• Cultural awareness – we value our language, knowledge, and the teachings of traditional First Nations spirituality
• Health – we are “walking the good life”
• Respect, Unity, and equality for all
