  • 2015-2016 Annual Report & Audited
    Photo Courtesy of MLT Photography The flag of the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation was officially commissioned on September 15, 1995 and was designed by Willard Ahenakew, great, great grandson of Chief Ahtahkakoop. The flag design references the Cree name “Ahtahkakoop” which translated into English means Starblanket. There are 276 stars representing the number of ancestors of the first Treaty 6 pay list of 1876, with 133 larger stars representing the men and women, and 143 stars representing the children. The Sun, Thunderbird, Medicine Staff and Buffalo represents important emblems of the Plains Cree culture. The night our namesake was born, it is said that the sky was unusually bright with many, many stars and thus he was given the name “Ahtahkakoop”. Our vision is to be a leader in Governance, Administration and Economic Development using the guiding principle of Chief Ahtahkakoop; “Let Us not think of Ourselves, but of Our Children’s Children”. Welcome to the Ahtahkakoop 2015-2016 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements. It is with great pride that we once again able to provide this report to you with all this important information and it is with great honor to say that we are in our 9th consecutive year of having an Unqualified Audit for the First Nation.
