Bonaparte Vision
Our goal is to become a successful employer that’s well integrated within the surrounding communities. We aim to maintain our cultural heritage within the greater St’uxwtews territory and to use this heritage to promote wealth and business within and throughout the territory to bring prosperity and success to all our members.
We aim to practice our inherent rights within the territory (as granted by kelkukpi7 and ske’lep) in a way that empowers each member, instills pride and loyalty within our community, and helps local entrepreneurs embrace modern business practices while supporting each other’s efforts. When one succeeds, we all succeed.
