The flag

Michel First Nation is an unrecognized band, fighting for recognition. The MFN is a signatory of Treaty 6 and and had its own reserve Callihoo I.R. 132 in Alberta. The tribe was disbanded in 1958 and the reserve was dissolved.

The flag is white with logo on it. [I don't have photo of it, so this is unconfirmed, still.]

Our logo with the sun & feather at the top of the tipi is linked to 'The Sun Traveller' or Louis Caliheue (L'Iroquois), a Mohawk from Kahnawake, who was hired by the Northwest Company in 1800. Louis was a canoeman and later a steersman: the canoes and paddles pay homage to this history. Mountains allude to the Rocky Mountains and our connections to Jasper House where many 'freemen' went after leaving the company. http://www.michelfirstnation.com/
