Peguis Treaty Land Entitlement Trust

sage smudge
Smudging by burning sage is an ancient healing practice of the Cree and Ojibway peoples of the plains. Sage is often burned to start a ceremony or to mark a significant moment, in this case, the sharing of knowledge and news about our journey at the Peguis Treaty Land Entitlement Trust.

I was elected to the Trust in 2008. I think the main responsibility of a trustee is to ensure that the trust money is protected and it’s invested properly. So far, our trust is the only trust of its kind that has not lost any money in an investment year. We’ve never had a negative return. A big challenge is to have people understand what the trust is and how it works. There’s a lot of confusion, partly because we have the two trusts and there are community fund trustees and financial trustees. People get them mixed up. I’ve met a lot of interesting people as trustee and I look forward to the future and the potential that the trusts offer to develop our community. I was born and raised in Peguis. I graduated from high school here and I still live in my parents original house. I was a professional truck driver for 15 years (1997 – 2012) and then took on the role as trustee.Â
