Our Vision statement
Through investing as a community in life-long learning and sharing our knowledge, Big River First Nation will be a sustainable community that is healthy, Safe, and Vibrant, rooted in the values of our Culture and Land.
We value & respect our elders
We value our Elders and recognize the need to take care of them; they require social interaction and opportunities to pass on their teachings.
We Are Proud of our Ancestry
We are proud of our culture and language and they must be taught both at the home and in the school. Preserving our language means preserving our culture, losing our language means losing our culture.

Preserving our environment is vital for sustaining life. This includes prioritizing the health of our children and fostering strong family bonds. Understanding our family connections strengthens our sense of kinship and support. Equally important is empowering our youth through education, ensuring they are prepared to lead and contribute positively to society.
Find us on Maps!
Most of Big River First Nation’s buildings can be found on Google Maps. This includes the Hall, the SeSeWahum Complex, and the new Jim Neilson Sports Complex!

“Everything deserves respect: our traditions, different beliefs, the natural and built environments, our own property as well as the property of others, our neighbourhood and community, and community members. It is essential for those who work with us to show us respect and to respect our ways. It is essential for us to earn and return that respect.“
