kiʔsuk kyukyit ʔaq̓amnik Eligible Voters,

Final versions of the ʔaq̓am Community Land Use Plan and the ʔaq̓am Amended Land Code are being referred to you for Vote. We are asking all members to review these Laws and cast your vote on February 25, 2016.

Two separate ballots questions are being posed to each ʔaq̓amnik eligible voter:

Are you in favour of enacting the ʔaq̓am Community Land Use Plan?; and

Do you approve all amendments to the St. Mary’s Indian Band Land Code, 2014, which include renaming it the ʔaq̓am Amended Land Code, 2016?

Ktunaxa Font

Near and dear to our heart, the St Mary's Indian Band has been renamed to our rightful traditional name of ʔa̓qam.  Attached you will find the file that will allow to you install the font thus allowing you to properly spell this and other ktunaxa words.  To install this onto your system:

1. Download the attached Ktunaxa_unicode_font file to your desktop

2. Right click and rename the ".txt" portion of the file name to ".exe"

3. Run the installation file as prompted.
