Northern Lights College is honoured to welcome Ken Cameron of Saulteau First Nations and Dean Dokkie of West Moberly First Nations as our November Elders in Residence.

Throughout their time with us, Ken and Dean will share knowledge of the Cree language, cultural teachings, and the history of the Peace River region, offering students, staff, and community members an opportunity to learn directly from their lived experience, leadership, and connection to the land and Nations of this area.

Ken Cameron is a former Chief of Saulteau First Nations and a respected Indigenous leader, entrepreneur, and mentor. His work has supported Indigenous economic development, environmental stewardship, clean energy, cultural revitalization, and opportunities for future generations.

Dean Dokkie is a hereditary Elder and former Councillor of West Moberly First Nations. He has spent decades working in Indigenous governance, Treaty 8 advocacy, cultural education, and community leadership, and has shared his knowledge with learners throughout the region.

Together, Ken and Dean bring a wealth of knowledge, stories, history, and teachings from this region.

Everyone is welcome to attend, visit, listen, learn, and spend time with our Elders in Residence.
