THE LA RONGE COMMUNITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The La Ronge and Area Roots of Hope Project lies in Woodland Cree territory in northern Saskatchewan within the Precambrian Shield\u2019s boreal forest. Woodland Cree people have lived in the area since time immemorial. Of the project\u2019s six communities, four are First Nation reserves (part of Lac La Ronge Indian band, the largest First Nation in the province) and two are municipalities (the town of La Ronge and the Village of Air Ronge). The local population is 99 per cent Indigenous on these reserves and about 75 per cent Indigenous in La Ronge and Air Ronge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
