Thunderchild First Nation

About

Thunderchild First Nation, also known as ka-pitikonahk, is an independent Cree First Nations band in Turtleford, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located approximately 113 kilometers northwest of North Battleford. 

The band's reserve was created after Chief Piyesiw-awasis' headmen were forced to sign an adhesion to Treaty Six in August 1879 at Special Area No. 4. Piyesiw-awasis was one of Big Bear's bodyguards until starvation and sickness led his people to adhere to the treaty. However, Piyesiw-awasis did not put his mark on the treaty document. The membership population is approximately 1,868 of which approximately 630 reside on the reserve.
