Welcome to the McLeod Lake Indian Band Elders webpage. The Elders program is currently very active and has monthly meetings that take place in Prince George or McLeod Lake. Our program is to provide services to Elders that are 60 years of age and older. Our program is not funded from Aboriginal Affairs and takes fundraising, proposal writing and contributions from the McLeod Lake Indian Band.
Age Requirement
When a member of the McLeod Lake Indian Band reaches the age of 60, they are considered an Elder of the McLeod Lake Indian Band as decided by the McLeod Lake Indian Band. If you are a McLeod Lake member and you have reached the age of 60 years, please contact the MLIB Office to inform the elder coordinator.
Traditional Storybook Project
The Tse’Khene Elders will be creating their own children’s storybooks, having the elders working on a project with the youth that has Cultural/Traditional content, and build a library within the McLeod Lake community for future generations to learn from is the ultimate goal. The storybooks will include berry picking, fishing with nets, activities at the cabin, hunting trips with family, trapping and or growing up in McLeod Lake.
Elders Council/Special Group
The Tse’Khene Elders will be creating a separate group for decision making purposes, this was initiated because the McLeod Lake Indian Band has 64 Elders and growing, therefore, creating a side group will help the decision process.
