First Nations — Ermineskin Cree Nation › The Ermineskin Cree Nation (Reserve #138) is one member of the Four Nations of Maskwacis, Alberta. It can be found in Central Alberta about fifty miles south of Edmonton on Highway 2A, halfway between the towns of Wetaskiwin and Ponoka. The Cree Nation’s land base is approximately 25,000 acres and is traditionally known as Bear Hills or Maskwacheesihk. The Cree people of the Ermineskin Cree Nation have a historical relationship that extends over centuries to the area. The Reserve was established in 1885 and belongs to the Treaty Six Group of Indian Tribes in Western Canada. Read more about the Ermineskin Cree First Nation at their website.
