The Mikisew Cree First Nation (Mikisew) has lived on the ancestral lands of the Athabasca Delta and Wood Buffalo National Park in northeastern Alberta since time immemorial. The lives of our members are linked to the land and to a close understanding of traditions, history and a natural way of life. Many of our members live in the hamlet of Fort Chipewyan, and our traditional lands range over a large portion of Athabasca oil sands deposits.
For nearly 30 years, Mikisew Group, our wholly owned business arm, has worked toward the long-term, sustainable economic progress of our Nation and its members through employment and significant investments in education, training, social programs and infrastructure.
Our second major entity, the Mikisew Cree First Nation Government Industry Relations (GIR), was formed in 2001 to act as a liaison between resource developers, operators, government agencies and the community.
Highlights of our Nation
* About 2,800 members
* Most live in Fort McMurray, Edmonton, Fort Smith, the Northwest Territories and Fort Chipewyan
* Language: Woodlands Cree
Governance
Mikisew is governed by an elected team of representatives with one Chief and six councillors. This team works diligently locally, nationally and internationally to preserve history and tradition while propelling progress. Chief and Council provide guidance and direction to our executive committee, which manages the day-to-day operations of the Nation, providing services, allocating resources, and advocating on behalf of Band members and their interests.
