Who We Are

A Nation Rooted in
Land & Tradition

Halfway River First Nation was originally located on the Chowade River. Through relocation into IR 168, we are now situated north of the Halfway River. We take pride in our Dane-Zaa heritage — keeping close ties to our language, traditional practices, and the land.

In the early 1900s, HRFN signed Treaty 8 to preserve our lands and natural resources. We currently have 304 registered members and honour our elders, family, and the land that gives us life.
