The Band

About the Nation:
"The 1200 member Driftpile Band is situated 30 km west of Swan River (or 3 hours and 15 minutes northwest of Edmonton, Alberta). The Driftpile Reserve itself is over 15,000 acres in size and sprawls along 10 km of sandy shoreline on the south side of Lesser Slave Lake. Highway # 2 runs directly through the reserve and provides good access to the lake."

The flag

The Driftpile First Nation changed its name into Driftpile Cree Nation and changed its flag, too.
