Around Enoch: what's near the resort
The resort sits on Enoch Cree Nation land beside the city limits. Here's what's close, with our own drive times, and what the resort itself puts on in the building.
Entry 01 · The Nation
Whose land you're on
Enoch Cree Nation describes itself as "maskêkosihk – People of the land of the medicine", a proud First Nation in Treaty No. 6 territory. The resort's wedding page puts it simply: "Proudly located on Enoch Cree Nation" (Weddings page). The gift shop at the main casino entrance sells Indigenous artwork, clothing, moccasins, handcrafted jewellery and dreamcatchers, daily from 10 am to 2 am (Gift shop). For the Nation's history, see our history page.
Entry 02 · In the building
Holiday Market, Relay Cup, watch parties
The Holiday Market at the River Cree, Maskêkosihk Pipon Atâwêwikamik, runs Thursday to Saturday, 19 to 21 November 2026, 1 to 9 pm, with First Nations, Métis and Inuit vendors, Indigenous food, live music and free photos with Santa from 3 to 7 pm. Admission is by donation to the Kanaweymik Initiative: toiletries and non-perishable food (Holiday Market page). In September, the River Cree Relay Cup, an Indian Relay horse-racing championship hosted with Enoch Cree Nation, runs at Enoch Race Park off Highway 60 (Relay Cup page).
Entry 03 · West Edmonton Mall
Seven kilometres east
The mall is 7.3 km and about 11 minutes away by our calculation, and the resort's shuttle runs every 30 minutes. WEM describes itself as 5.3 million square feet with more than 800 stores and services and more than 100 places to eat, plus World Waterpark, Galaxyland, the Ice Palace, Sea Life Caverns, Sea Lions' Rock, mini golf and bowling (wem.ca). With kids along, it's the obvious half-day.
