Have a look at our two Whitefish camp videos. The Whitefish camp started in 2018 and is now a fully integrated Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation, Mikisew Cree First Nation and Athabasca Cree First Nation run program looking at the health of Lake Whitefish through annual examinations of Indigenous and scientific indicators of health. These videos are Mikisew produced.
