K’en T’em Limited Partnership (KTLP) has distributed $250,000 to each of its eight member bands, marking the first time since its creation that the organization has returned direct financial benefits to its owners. “K’en T’em was built by our people, for our people. Chief Fred Sampson, Chief of Siska and vice-chair of the K’en T’em board, reflected on the deeper significance of the funds. Chief Greg Blain, Chief of Ashcroft and director on the K’en T’em board, emphasized the forward-looking potential of the initiative. This is only the beginning of what K’en T’em can grow into,” he said.
