Clearwater 175 is an Indian reserve of the Fort McMurray First Nation in Alberta, located within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.[2] It is 7 kilometres southeast of Fort McMurray.[1]
History
[edit]Clearwater Indian Reserve No. 175 was set aside for Paul Cree's Band of Indians under Order in Council P.C. 1570 on 12 May 1921, following surveys in 1915–1916.[3] Although the reserve is now listed as a part of Fort McMurray First Nation, descendants and representatives of the Paul Cree/Clearwater River band have disputed this affiliation, arguing that the band was wrongfully absorbed into the larger structure and should be recognized independently.[4]
