Aseniwuche Winewak Nation

Aseniwuche Winewak Nation of Canada, A Fellowship of Aboriginal People, or AWN, is a provincially incorporated not-for-profit society based in Grande Cache, Alberta. AWN members share a unique history and ancestry as descendents of various Indigenous groups of Canada including Cree, Iroquois, Sekani, Dene-saa, Ojibwe, Assiniboine and Shuswap. In 1994, the seven communities, known as the Co-operatives and Enterprises, joined to form the Aseniwuche Winewak Society. Eight years later in 2002, the Aseniwuche Winewak Society became the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation of Canada. The membership changed from the seven corporate members to individual community members. Today, AWN represents over 400 adults and 180 youth and children. AWN provides programming and services to support the needs of its members. AWN is governed by an elected President and Board of Directors nominated and voted by the general membership every four years.
