Our new website is part of a “Communication Strategy:, that includes; the SLCN newsletters and the official face book page called Saddle Lake Cree Nation, News, Events and Information.

This website’s main purpose is to communicate with all band members who reside both off and on our home land. It will serve as an opportunity for our leaders to continually apprise our people of our progress as a Cree Nation.

The items of priority are the Treaty Based Approach, News and Events and Knowledge Transfer. Over time we have included other topics such as, Local Legends, and the Well-Being Page.

The objective is to share, educate, inform, and communicate.

This website will be a work in progress, we have much more to research and to share and to add, check back periodically to stay updated.

Check out our many pages and learn with us, there is much to explore!
