About

About Cold Lake First Nations

Cold Lake First Nations is a Dënesųłiné community in northeastern Alberta and the only Chipewyan community that signed Treaty 6.

Cold Lake First Nations (Łuéchogh Túé) is the governing body for people descended from several historic groups, which is why the name is plural. The Nation signed Treaty 6 in 1876 and is the only Chipewyan community that signed it. Its traditional lands, Dene Ni Nenne, cross the Alberta–Saskatchewan border and overlap the areas of Treaties 6, 8 and 10. As of August 2019, the Nation had 2,960 members, and 1,322 of them lived on its five reserves near the City of Cold Lake.

The community's language is Dënesųłiné (Chipewyan), and the land is central to its identity. As a former chief put it, "Our Dene peoples are connected to the land." The 2026 Treaty Days celebration marked 150 years of Treaty 6 with pipe ceremonies, cultural presentations, traditional games, canoe races and community feasts.

The Nation's history includes major losses. When the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range was created in 1952, the Nation lost much of its traditional territory. Today the community runs a health centre, Dene Wellness and LeGoff School. Its businesses include Primco Dene, Casino Dene, a logging company and forestry services. Chief Kelsey Jacko has led the Nation since 2022.
