About
Life Speakers
The Life Speakers are comprised of appointed Senators from each of the 11 member First Nations.
Their role is to provide knowledge, life experience, and wisdom on various issues to the organization.
In 2014, the FHQTC Senate gathered together and made the decision to change their title to Life Speakers. Their title was translated to Kâkîsiwayîtôtâtomôwat Pimâtisiwin, Kahkîsiwētahāpēŝik Pimahtisīwin, and Wescasa Tunka, which means “Those that Speak Loudly About Life”.
The Life Speakers also represent FHQTC within the FSIN Senate.
