Elders Council

The Elders Council at the Bonnyville Friendship Centre plays a vital role in guiding our work with wisdom, cultural knowledge, and lived experience.

“Our Elders are not only keepers of our traditions—they are the teachers of tomorrow.”
— Assembly of First Nations
“In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation.”
— Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Proverb
“Listen to the Elders. Not because they are always right, but because they have lived through what you are just beginning to understand.”
— Anonymous (Traditional Teaching)
