The Little Red River Cree Nation (Cree: ᒥᐦᒁᑲᒦᐏ ᓰᐲᓯᐢ, mihkwâkamîwi-sîpîsis) is a First Nations band government in northern Alberta, headquartered at John D'Or Prairie.^[3]

Indian Reserves

[edit]

There are three First Nation communities under the governance of the band:^[4]

Nearby is the Wood Buffalo National Park. In the early 21st century, the Cree are concerned because the bison population has declined, and they have continued to depend on the animal as a food source. They believe that the government has not sufficiently protected the bison, and that too many non-Aboriginal hunters and poachers have taken too many bison as trophies, decimating the herd.
