About the Nation

Bigstone Cree Nation is comprised of three communities.  Calling Lake, Chipewyan Lake, and Wabasca.  Bigstone 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, B.C.N. membership rounds off to five-thousand members; on and off reserve.      ​
