               Re:  Rule 24f-2 Notice Filing

          Gentlemen:

               In connection with the  registration of an indefinite number
          of  units (the  "Units") registered  by Saturna  Investment Trust
          (the "Trust") with respect to the following series:

                                 Sextant Growth Fund
                               Sextant bond Income Fund
                             Sextant Short Term Bond Fund
                              Sextant International Fund
                                Idaho Tax Exempt Fund

          (the  "Series"), we  have been  asked to  provide the  opinion of
          counsel  required pursuant  to Rule 24f-2(b)(1)(v),  to accompany
          the  notice  (the "Notice")  required to  be  filed by  the Trust
          pursuant to  Rule 24f-2, promulgated pursuant to Section 24(f) of
          the Investment Company  Act of  1940, as amended.   In  rendering
          this  opinion, we  have  examined such  documents (including  the
          audited  financial  statements  of   the  Trust's  Series  as  of
          November 30,  1995), records and questions of law as we deemed it
          necessary to examine for the purpose of this opinion.

               Based  on  that examination  and  investigation,  it is  our
          opinion that  the Units of each  Series which are the  subject of
          the  Notice  have been  validly issued,  fully  paid and  are not
          liable to further assessment.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             /s/ Barnes & Thornburg
