Cameco has been operating in northern Saskatchewan since 1988 and regularly works with Indigenous communities around its mining operations. On its website, it describes the important role Indigenous Elders play in their communities as “people gifted with great wisdom, the storytellers and advocates for the natural environment and preservers of [Indigenous] cultures.”
