Clayton Konisenta: Fort Simpson

Residents Dept: Most homes were evacuated nearly three weeks ago when the Liard River flooded its banks, and the community's residents were moved to Fort Simpson, according to CBC. The water has receded and crews have started assessing the damage and residents of Nahanni Butte, N.W.T. will start returning to the community Friday afternoon. The community s newly elected chief, Clayton Konisenta, said a small group of young men will be the first to return and start the clean up process. He hopes they will lay the groundwork for families and elders to return later in the day. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
