About The Nation

Bigstone Cree Nation (BCN) is comprised of three communities.  Calling Lake, Chipewyan Lake, and Wabasca all located in present day Alberta. BCN was signed into the "Treaty 8" agreement in 1899 and was provided with funds along with reserve lands to govern for growth of its membership.  As of the 2016 census, BCN membership rounds off to five-thousand members; both on and off reserve.      ​

 Wabasca, AB is the Headquarters for the Bigstone Cree Nation.  

It is located on the Highway intersection of Highway 813 and Highway 754, 123 km Northeast of Lesser Slave Lake. BCN is considered to be a Woodland Cree People and include five reserves (Reserve 166,  166A, 166B, 166C, and 166D) which is surrounded by the Municipal District of Opportunity #17 lands.
