Kehewin First Nation

Located about 13 miles south of Bonnyville, Alberta, is the Anishinabe kehewin first nation. There is only one Reserve which makes up this Anishinabe First Nation. It covers 8,212 hectares or 20,292 total acres. Total population is 1,720, with most (999) living on the one reserve, while the remainder (693) live off the Reserve, and 28 live on crown land. Many can trace their origins back to Montana, where they originally lived but were driven out by the whites, after the 1868-1886 war. Ogimak Big Bear or Sitting Bull, led them up to Canada.
