Message from the First Directors

It starts with community, which starts with the parent and child. The journey to the establishment of The Four Pillars Society (The FPS) began specifically with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc and shíshálh Nation communities and families.

This particular journey was about finding some level of redress to the systemic colonial efforts to disrupt the languages, cultures, wellness fundamental to our communities and the disavowing of our Aboriginal heritage. With the additional support of the Grand Council of the Crees Eeyou Istchee (GCCEI) the steps taken resulted in the signing of a settlement agreement mid-January 2023. As other communities signed on to be included in those settlement resources (by September of 2022) development of a much broader administrative framework became necessary. This Strategic Plan sets out the next steps of this particular journey which started back in 2012.

The federal transfer of settlement monies occurred in June of 2023. We, the First Directors, were able to invest the funds only after developing bylaws, organizing federal transfer agreements, and reviewing investment partnerships. The FPS is now established to empower a twenty-year administrative venture. We have worked over the past year to ensure the capacity to; attract high-value knowledgeable directorship & executive management and, prioritize fiscal accountability and security of the $2.8+ billion.

During The FPS first strategic planning session the values most subscribed to were Respect, Fairness, and Transparency & Accountability. With that in mind we respectfully submit to the Band Class Settlement agreement members our, and your, first strategic plan. We recognized in the planning session that the first couple of years will be to further ensure the operating policies are developed and refined. We appreciate that empowering communities that have existed, changed and grown for thousands of years is a dynamic exercise and look forward to your future representative input. We thank you in advance for joining us in this collaborative journey.

Our people have chosen to claim their identity and dignity from years of trauma inflicted on them, their identity, language, culture, wellbeing and heritage and we are honoured to serve our people to implement the Band Reparation Class Action Settlement.
