Marie, Ontario

Batchewana First Nation (BFN) Philosophy:

“It is the aspiration of everyone that we will all work together for the good of the community and good community life. In order to have a healthy community, physically, mentally, and spiritually, it is recognized that we must respect one another. Moreover, it is agreed that religious tolerance is a principle of our community life for mutual respect and understanding.”
