Aspen parkland defines the setting of Maskwacis — groves of aspen and broad agricultural clearings shape this central Alberta community between prairie and boreal forest. Maskwacis, known as Hobbema until 2014, takes its Cree name from “Bear Hills.” It is home to the Ermineskin Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation, Louis Bull Tribe and Montana First Nation, four distinct Treaty 6 communities whose presence gives the area a strong Cree identity. Community life is centred on local schools, services and gatherings rather than a conventional city centre.
