Notice to Community

To: ʔaq̓am Community

Our shared qanikitȼi—our values and principles – are a part of what has always made up the distinctive culture of ʔaq̓amnik. We put family first. We come together in unity and co-operation to provide support when a family is in need. Our qanikitȼi requires us to be inclusive and to support one another in healthy and balanced living by coming together to practice our traditional ways and engage in ceremony during funerals and burials. At the same time, we must also ensure safety and security for our community.
