Our Logo

For many years, First Nations people relied upon the buffalo to feed, clothe and shelter themselves.  It’s only natural that the central figure of the File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council’s logo is the buffalo, an animal that represents sustenance and survival.  The calf featured within the larger adult figure symbolizes the energy and spirit of our youth.  The hooves that circle the buffalo represent the eleven First Nations that make up FHQ Tribal Council and their internal focus of standing together in solidarity.

The mission of the File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council is to Protect and Implement Treaty Rights, Promote Self-Determination, Assist in the Development of Productive and Safer Communities, Provide Technical and Advisory Services,  and to Address the Common Interests of First Nations in an Equitable and Professional manner while Respecting their Culture and Priorities.

The FHQTC has strong organizations values that consist of Respect, Accountability, Cooperation and Integrity.
