White Bear First Nation is a First Nation[1] in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada.

Etymology

The Nation bears the name of its Chief Wahpiimusqua (1815-1900, wâpimaskwa, "white bear"), who signed an adhesion to Treaty 4 in 1875. Despite this, he ultimately settled next to Moose Mountain Provincial Park with his band, which is in the Treaty 2 area.[2]
