"The Onion Lake Cree Nation", (Cree: ᐑᐦᒉᑲᐢᑯᓰᐏᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᓂᕽ.., wîhcêkaskosîwi-sâkahikanihk) is a Plains Cree First Nation band, government & community in Canada, straddling the Alberta /Saskatchewan provincial border, approximately 50 km (31 mi) north of the city of Lloydminster. It is within Alberta's County of Vermilion River and Saskatchewan's Rural Municipality of Frenchman Butte No. 501, at the intersection of Highway 17 and Alberta Highway 641 and Saskatchewan Highway 797. The Makaoo 120 reserve is located within both provinces, while the Seekaskootch 119 reserve is wholly within Saskatchewan. Both reserves once maintained separate band governments, combining, to form Onion Lake, in 1914. Onion Lake Cree Nation is one of the only reserves that has land in two separate provinces. Onion Lake is a translation of Wicekikaskosîwi-sâkahikan, "Wild Onion", smelly plant, a nearby body of water where the plant was abundant. When referring to the community today, though, Cree speakers typically use wîhcekaskosîwi-sâkahikanihk, "domestic onion lake". Chief Seekaskootch’s band signed Treaty 6, on September 9th 1876, while other River Cree people, such as the Makaoo Band, signed an adhesion to Treaty 6, in 1878. The bands received adjacent reserves, in 1879.
