About

Cowessess First Nation is a Saulteaux First Nation in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Their reserves include Cowessess 73, Cowessess 73A, and Treaty Four Reserve Grounds 77, shared with 32 other bands. The band is named for Chief Ka-we-zause (Cowessess, or Little Child), who was the leader of a mixed band of Plains Cree, Saulteaux, and Metis who were known as plains bison hunters. 

Cowessess signed Treaty Four in September 1874 at Fort Qu'Appelle. The band originally selected a reserve near Maple Creek (Saskatchewan), however, Headman Louis O'Soup led a dissident group that abandoned the Cypress Hills and moved to the Qu'Appelle River valley.
