👉 Northern First Nations request more help
On Wednesday, the Lac La Ronge Indian Band, Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation and Montreal Lake Cree Nation declared a joint state of emergency. In light of the severity of the wildfire situation, First Nations leaders said in a news release that they have "deep concerns" about critical shortages in firefighting resources, personnel and air support.
The First Nations' declaration demanded direct meetings with Moe, federal ministers and members of Parliament.
Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte of the Prince Albert Grand Council said more firefighting personnel, increased air support and help with accommodations for evacuees are all urgently needed.

A wildfire is quickly moving towards Tataskweyak Cree Nation, prompting urgent measures. PR280 has been closed, isolating the communities of Tataskweyak, Fox Lake Cree Nation and York Factory. The lack of resources available to assist First Nations people in this crisis is concerning. These newly threatened First Nations are requesting to safely remove all Priority One patients. MKO Grand Chief Garrison Settee is requesting immediate evacuation support to those with health challenges, the elderly and children.
"People are in danger. The wildfire is advancing rapidly, and our First Nations are being cut off and we require additional air support. We are calling on all levels of government to act now. We need more dedicated resources for First Nations people in this crisis. We demand swift, coordinated action to protect First Nations lives," said Grand Chief Settee.
Mathias Colomb has two CAF flights scheduled, along with a number of commercial flights to Winnipeg and to Brandon. Accommodation plans are still being finalized. Norway House is hosting Pimicikamak Cree Nation evacuees, CAF flights are expected to arrive in the community and Chief Gordon Bluesky of Brokenhead Ojibway Nation has offered bus services for evacuated individuals.
The overall risk level remains high due to dry conditions and elevated temperatures, which can exacerbate wildfire behavior.
“The wildfire is advancing rapidly, and our First Nations are being cut off and we require additional air support. We are calling on all levels of government to act now.” — Grand Chief Garrison Settee, MKO
