The Kelly Lake Declaration

In 2024, our community took a significant step forward in defining our identity on our own terms through the creation of the Kelly Lake Declaration. The Kelly Lake Declaration marks a pivotal moment in our history where we reclaim our narrative. For too long, the identity of Kelly Lake has been characterized by external perceptions. Today, we stand united in asserting our true identity, guided by the wisdom of our elders and the energy of our youth.

This vital document, developed between June and October 2024, is a testament to our community’s agency and self-determination. It encapsulates the voice and spirit of Kelly Lake, articulated by its people and reflective of our ancestry, traditions, culture, and Cree values. This declaration is not just a document; it’s a living promise from our community to our ancestors and to future generations.
