There are three First Nation communities under the governance of the band:<ref>[https://fnp-ppn.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/FNP/Main/Search/FNReserves.aspx?BAND_NUMBER=447&lang=eng Indian and Northern Affairs Canada "Reserves/Settlements/Villages Detail"] </ref>
*[[Fox Lake 162|Fox Lake Indian Reserve 162]] 10438.30 ha
*[[Garden River, Alberta|Garden Creek Indian Settlement]] 3741 ha.
*[[John D'Or Prairie 215]] 14034 ha.
Nearby is the [[Wood Buffalo National Park]]. In the early 21st century, the Cree are concerned because the bison population has declined, and they have continued to depend on the animal as a food source. They believe that the government has not sufficiently protected the bison, and that too many non-Aboriginal hunters and poachers have taken too many bison as trophies, decimating the herd.
