Chief of Siksika Nation at Siksika Nation
📍 Strathmore, Alberta, Canada

Ouray Crowfoot is the Chief of Siksika Nation, leveraging a robust background as a Certified Public Accountant with an MBA from East Carolina University. He applies his corporate finance experience from firms like Ernst & Young to drive major initiatives, including securing a historic $1. 3 billion land claim settlement and establishing a self-administered police force for his Nation.

Deeply connected to his heritage as a descendant of the famed Chief Crowfoot, he is dedicated to cultural preservation. He was inspired by his mothers advice to balance modern education with tradition—carrying "a computer in one hand and a drum in the other. " This philosophy guides his efforts to repatriate historical artifacts and foster community well-being.

He had no plans to be chief, returning to Siksika from his corporate career to care for his mother before being elected.
