Onion Lake Cree Nation

About

The Onion Lake Cree Nation is a Plains Cree First Nations band in Canada, straddling the Alberta/Saskatchewan provincial border, making it Canada’s only border Cree Nation. It is located approximately 50 km (31 mi) north of the City of Lloydminster. 

Currently, 2,408 of the band’s 4,003 members live on the 57,737.5 ha of reserve land. It is within Alberta's County of Vermilion River and Saskatchewan's Rural Municipality of Frenchman Butte No. 501 at the intersection of Highway 17 and Alberta Highway 641/Saskatchewan Highway 797.

The Makaoo 120 reserve, located within both provinces, and the Seekaskootch 119 reserve, wholly within Saskatchewan, both maintained separate band governments but combined to form Onion Lake in 1914. With all reserves combined, the Onion Lake Cree Nation has a total land area of 585.711 square kilometres (226.144 sq mi).
