The New Relationship Trust and the First Nation communities realize the importance of our Elders. Accordingly, the NRT Board of Directors identified Elders as a strategic priority. Our Elders provide the key to a healthy and vital future. The ongoing support and participation of this group is essential to strong, healthy Nations.
