Beardy’s and Okemasis’ Cree Nation (BOCN) is a forward‑looking, close‑knit Nation grounded in kinship and collective care. Sovereign under kisê‑manitow and a signatory to Treaty No. 6, we uphold community‑led governance rooted in accountability, unity, and transparency, guided by the timeless and enduring wisdom of our ancestors.

Home to the nîpisîhkopâwiyiniwak (Willow Cree people) and part of the nêhiyawak (Plains Cree Nation), our territory spans the North and South Saskatchewan river region and beyond. BOCN sits beside the original Treaty No. 6 signing site at Fort Carlton and near the historic Batoche and Duck Lake—places central to the making of Saskatchewan and Canada, including the story of Almighty Voice and Louis Riel’s 1885 Resistance.
