About Our Nation Leq’á:mel First Nation (LFN), formerly known as Lakahahmen First Nation, is located 22 kilometres east of Mission. With approximately 800 members, LFN is a signatory to the Sto:lo Nation, and is governed by Chief and Council through Custom Election Code. LFN is involved in many partnerships such as, the Advocates of Nicomen Ecological Watershed (ANEW) and the Fraser River Scientific Development and Selective Harvest Partnership (FRSD&SHP).
