About
The Beardy's and Okemasis' Cree Nation is named for Chiefs Beardy (kâmiyescawesit, "one who has a little beard") and Okemasis (okimâsis, "little chief", diminutive of okimâw). Together, they led two-thirds of the Willow Cree band and settled west of Duck Lake prior to the signing of Treaty 6 in 1876. With adjoining reserves, the two bands have since merged into a single First Nation. The Cree name for this combined reserve is nîpisîhkopâwiyinînâhk, "among the Willow Cree". The remaining Willow Cree today form the One Arrow First Nation.
Their reserves include: Beardy's & Okemasis' 96 & 97, Beardy's & Okemasis' 96 & 97A, Beardy's & Okemasis' 96 & 97B, and Beardy's & Okemasis' 96 & 97C.
