Most of the residents are South Slavey Dene, who have occupied these lands for thousands of years. The region is rich in wildlife and natural beauty.
But, long before settlement of the Anglican Mission Church, Roman Catholic Church, Trading post and RCMP the South Slavey Dene used the mouth of the river site for a fish camp, taking advantage of the plentiful fish runs during fish seasons.
People would camp out on the shores of Buffalo Lake and are still using the traditional hunting land; Dene life needed rhythms of the land. They lived in harmony with the land and made good use of it’s resources.
Today, KFN is a thriving community, healing many wounds and building a viable economic base for itself and future generations
