With a history rooted in the fur trade, Ile-a-la-Crosse has long been a vital trading post and transportation hub. Named after a small island adorned with a cross, our community holds a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate the heritage of early explorers.
Today, Ile-a-la-Crosse is home to approximately 1,200 residents, predominantly belonging to the Cree and Métis peoples. We take great pride in preserving our Indigenous way of life, engaging in activities like trapping, wild rice harvesting, and the revitalization of our language and cultural traditions.
