“We are no longer a landless Métis community,” WLMN Vice-President Justin Bourque said in a statement. “Sohkastwâwin reinforces our self-governance model and the actions we take now to develop resilience will change the course of our Nation’s future.”
Willow Lake Métis Nation celebrated a large milestone on June 3 after acquiring 205 acres of land in Anzac to help provide their citizens with food, power and cultural security.
CEO Justin Bourque says that Sohkastwâwin (So-cast-a-wow-win) is expected to feature an eco-bison ranch and local food source, a garden, a community cultural centre, and métis housing.
