One Arrow First Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One Arrow First Nation is a Canadian Cree First Nation. Its reserve is located just south of Batoche, Saskatchewan near the South Saskatchewan River about 100 km Northeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The One Arrow First Nation is in the aspen parkland biome.

Named after Chief One Arrow a signatory to Treaty Six at Fort Carlton in 1876, the band had land disputes with the Métis of Batoche in the 1880s, and their supposed role in the Northwest Rebellion is quite controversial. Chief One Arrow himself claimed they were coerced into participating alongside Louis Riel, while the Métis claim they were allied.

Currently Chief Dwayne Paul presides over the nation. Birth place of Tom Jackson the singer, songwriter, actor, and humanitarian/entrepreneur.
