Saddle Lake has some pretty amazing people... I wish we had a commemorative centre/museum where they could show SLFN history from before signing of Treaty till now.. Been through some amazing events and some amazing people have done great things representing this Nation...

Late Mr. Steinhauer - Lieutenant Governor of Alberta... Ms. Tenielle Whiskeyjack-actress and model as well as her daughter Mika... Isiah Cardinal and Silas Makokis- 2 episodes of Hit the Ice ( nationally televised) Late Jason Wood- Captain of the Fort Mac. Oil barons AJHL, and also my son Darien Cardinal- Alternate Captain OCN BLizzard MJHL.. there are probably many many more ... and cant forget the educated.. our coveted Doctors and Lawyers, RNs.. Teachers, Professors, Book writers, Business owners...artists... cowboys and cowgirls ..etc.. I am so proud of our Nation.. we are not a Sad Nation.. we are rich in history and history makers.. GN please correct me if I am wrong or give some input .. there are so many wonderful Saddle Lakers

Aski Kapimohtet Iskwew our treaty signatory chiefs, chief blue quill, chief pakan, chief wasatnow, chief onchiminahos, all those that made saddle lake what it is today. history! treaty and indian affairs brought saddle lake together. and it is this understanding of our histories, where we came from, to celebrate who we are to create dreams for our young people. it is what it is, we cannot undo these things but we can learn from them, grow and celebrate so we can start envisioning healthier and safer communities! yes i love my roots and where I am from! saddle laker for life! lol!
