Chief’s Welcome

Tansi, and Welcome to Red Pheasant Cree Nation.
On behalf of our Council, our Elders, and the people of the Red Pheasant Cree Nation, I am honoured to welcome you to our official website.
Whether you are a community member staying connected to your roots, a partner looking to collaborate, or a visitor learning about our history, you are welcome here.

Our Story is One of Resilience 
Since our ancestors signed Treaty 6 in 1876, our nation has navigated immense change with strength and determination. We are the descendants of Chief Red Pheasant and the people of the Eagle Hills—a people who have always understood the value of the land, the importance of kinship, and the necessity of looking forward.

A Nation on the Move
Today, Red Pheasant is not just preserving history; we are making it. We are actively building a self-sustaining economy through initiatives like our urban reserve developments—including Eagles Landing—and our strategic partnerships in energy and agriculture. We are asserting our jurisdiction, creating wealth for our members, and ensuring that our Treaty rights are respected and implemented.

Looking to the Future
While we grow our economy, our heart remains with our people. Our focus is on Miyo-Pimatisiwin (The Good Life)—building a safe, healthy community where our youth can thrive, our language is spoken, and our Elders are honoured.

I invite you to explore our site, learn about our governance, and witness the growth of the Red Pheasant Cree Nation.

Ekosi,
Chief Cody Benson, Red Pheasant Cree Nation
