Ermineskin Cree Nation

Ermineskin Cree Nation is a First Nation, a western branch of the large Cree Nation, and a Treaty 6 nation.

As of 2008, there are 3,758 registered Ermineskin Cree, of which 2,606 were living on reserve.^[1]

The Ermineskin Cree Nations two reserves (around Hobbema, Alberta) total about 22,512 hectares and are known in Cree as Maskwacheesihk. While the Ermineskin traditional territory includes the reserve lands, the reserve was formally established in 1885. The land houses substantial oil and gas deposits, agricultural land, and waterfront access to Pigeon Lake. The Canadian Pacific railway line runs through the reserve.
