Bearspaw First Nation is an independent, sovereign First Nation.
Bearspaw First Nation’s economic development strategy provides for a clear directive to achieve our objectives and create a strong economy for our members present and future.
In establishing a number of successful businesses, we have created pathways forward for transformational opportunities for the Bearspaw First Nation and its members. We are confident we can break a 150-year cycle of multi-generational poverty. We will continue on our economic success to date and at the same time celebrate our cultural values as the Iyarhe Nakoda.
The Ozîja Thiha Legacy Trust was established for our present & future generations and the financial security of the Bearspaw First Nation and its membership.
