About Our Ward

Ward sipiwiyiniwak, pronounced SEE-PEE-WIN-EE-WOK  is a combination of certain neighbourhoods from what was previously Wards 5 & 1 before the changes took place in 2021.

 

According to Edmonton's Indigenous Ward Naming Knowledge Committee, "Enoch Cree Nation members were known as the River Cree, or sipiwiyiniwak, to other tribes.

 

In the 1800s, the First Nation covered about 114 square kilometres. In 1884, Chief Enoch Lapotac signed an adhesion to Treaty 6, but involuntary land surrenders caused the loss of more than half of Enoch land. The First Nation, bordering the west side of Edmonton, continues to fight for land rights today."

Did you know?

There are 33 neighbourhoods in the ward. These neighbourhoods are a mix of new developments, and mature neighbourhoods - some were even built in the 60s.

We respectfully acknowledge that my campaign work takes place on Treaty 6 territory and the Métis Homeland — the traditional lands of the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others. These lands, known in Cree as amiskwaciwâskahikan (Beaver Hills House), have been a gathering place and center of culture, knowledge, and innovation since time immemorial.

 

We recognize and commit to the the ongoing responsibility to learn from and stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples, whose histories and contributions continue to shape the community we are honoured to serve. We commit to ensuring a better future for all Edmontonians by committing by fighting for policies and processes that ensure justice and wellbeing for all.
