Our Government

Sakom (Chief) Allan Polchies Jr.

I became the first LGBTQ chief in Atlantic Canada in 2018. I was formerly a councilor at St. Mary’s First Nation for a period of 13 years, in 2018. I have also worked within the Band Administration for several years as the Community Planner which allowed me to be involved in community activities surrounded around language, culture, ceremony and communal celebrations. I am committed to leading my people with dedication, integrity, and sincere enthusiasm. I will continue wo work everyday for a better tomorrow.
