Local Administration
Although the Townsite of Redwood Meadows is located within
Tsuut’ina Nation reserve, it has its own Town Council of a mayor and six councillors.
History
In 1877, well-known leader Chief Bull Head signed Treaty No. 7, which created the 280 km2 reserve on which the Tsuut’ina now live. Before they were confined to the reserve, each band was led by a chief. Today, the band is governed by an elected chief and councillors.
A distinguished contemporary leader of the Tsuut’ina was Chief David Crowchild (born on 12 April 1899; died on 10 April 1982). Crowchild became chief in 1946, and established a school and band farm on the reserve.
In the early 1970s, the land upon which Redwood Meadows is developed was leased to Sarcee Developments Ltd. (SDL), a wholly owned Tsuut’ina company. The Head Lease, 75 years in duration, commenced in 1974 and was recently extended (2021) until 2095! This historic deal, the first of its kind in Canada, which was approved by the residents of the Townsite of Redwood Meadows, recognizes Tsuut’ina’s sovereignty, while providing Redwood Meadows delegated authority to operate the Townsite and serve as a land steward for Tsuut’ina.
The lease extension continues a partnership that has been in place since the 1970’s, providing Tsuut’ina a multi-generational benefit, while creating certainty for the residents of Redwood Meadows.
