our nation
Beardy’s and Okemasis’ Cree Nation (BOCN) is a forward‑looking, close‑knit Nation grounded in kinship and collective care. Sovereign under kisê‑manitow and a signatory to Treaty No. 6, we uphold community‑led governance rooted in accountability, unity, and transparency, guided by the timeless and enduring wisdom of our ancestors.
Home to the nîpisîhkopâwiyiniwak (Willow Cree people) and part of the nêhiyawak (Plains Cree Nation), our territory spans the North and South Saskatchewan river region and beyond. BOCN sits beside the original Treaty No. 6 signing site at Fort Carlton and near the historic Batoche and Duck Lake—places central to the making of Saskatchewan and Canada, including the story of Almighty Voice and Louis Riel’s 1885 Resistance.

I want to take a moment to speak directly to our community about the path forward for Beardy’s & Okemasis’ Cree Nation. Clear communication is an important part of that work. This website is being developed as a central place where members can stay informed about community updates, programs, events, Chief and Council initiatives, and opportunities that affect our Nation. Whether it’s housing, economic development, community gatherings, or important notices, this platform will help ensure information is accessible and transparent. We encourage all members to visit the site regularly, stay connected, and be involved.
Ekosi,
