Home Reserve
There are approximately 1,848 members of the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation. Located just north of Blaine Lake, SK, our reserve is home to about 450 members.
Getting there: From North Battleford or Prince Albert, take Highway 40 to Blaine Lake. From Saskatoon, take Highway 12. At Blaine Lake, turn east at Lafond Gas Bar (there is a sign) and travel north on the Crown Hill grid road for about 15 km.
TLE Lands
While the core reserve was first surveyed in 1879, two agreements led to the Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) Trust in 1992, making it possible for Saskatchewan Indian Bands to acquire land by reaching out to surrounding communities and municipal governments to purchase lands up to the maximum entitlement of 34,000 acres (plus any shortfall from a survey error in 1881).
TLE lands include the following:
Two additional parcels of land are waiting for reserve status designation.
