Fort Severn First Nation is a remote fly-in community on Hudson Bay. Its lifestyle reflects a deep respect for and connection to the land. The Keewaytinook Okimakanak (KO) Tribal Council has developed the Keewaytinook Mobile (KM) service in remote First Nation communities in Northern Ontario. In November 2009, Fort Severn and KO established the KM service in the community. This study traces the history of KM and its implementation in Fort Severn and describes how and why community members are using the service. The analysis is based on interviews and discussions with community members during three research visits between March 2010 to March 2011
