Aseniwuche Winewak Nation of Canada is an unrecognized nation in Alberta.
Here is their story:
Until the 1960s, we enjoyed a rich traditional
lifestyle. In 1907, the Aseniwuche Winewak who had traditional homesteads in the
Jasper area were forced to relocate.
The members of the Aseniwuche Winewak
Nation are non-status Indians descended from Cree and Beaver tribes from the
northern Rocky Mountains (now Jasper National Park, Willmore Wilderness Park and
the Grande Cache area).
AWN was incorporated in 1994 and represents the six
Aboriginal communities in the Grande Cache area: Muskeg Seepee Cooperative, Susa
Creek Cooperative, Grande Cache Lake Enterprise (Kamisak Development), Victor
Lake Cooperative, Joachim Enterprise, and Wanyandie Cooperative (East and West).
Archaeological evidence of Aboriginal people in this region dates back
thousands of years. In 1907, Aboriginals in the Jasper area were evicted to
create the National Park. Many moved to the area near present day Grande Cache,
joining family already there. The People lived a traditional, self-reliant
lifestyle until the 1960’s. In 1969 the town of Grande Cache was built to
facilitate the development of a coal mine. Aboriginal residents were unable to
participate in development decisions, as they had no legally recognized title to
the land or minerals. Many traditional sites, homes and gravesites were
destroyed, and a legacy of loss began.
The community problems arose from a
lack of education, training and economic opportunity. In an effort to overcome
these barriers, the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation was formalized in September 1994.
The six aboriginal settlements that surrounded the town of Grande Cache joined
together to have a collective presence. In 2001, the Nation became the
representative body of more than four hundred individual members, and the
corporate members of Cooperatives and Enterprises.
