The Lac Ste. Anne Métis Community Association (“LSAMCA”) is an organization established to represent the independent, self-governing Lac Ste. Anne Métis community whose traditional territory encompasses west central and northwest Alberta, inclusive of the east slopes of the Rocky Mountains. With a strong sense of self-determination and cultural identity, and the recent recognition of our rights by the Province of Alberta, LSAMCA is focused on honouring the independent spirit of our ancestors while ensuring the wellbeing of future generations.

LSAMCA provides direct supports to its members through investments in education, training, housing, and other social programs and services, funded in part through our involvement in sustainable economic development activities.
