Four First Nations have formed an alliance to work in the oil and gas business.

Through Onion Lake Energy, the Onion Lake First Nation is partnering up with the Sucker Creek, Drift Pile and Ermineskin First Nations.

Onion Lake Energy president Roy Littlewolfe says the oil and gas business has been good for his reserve.

“We had approximately 93% unemployment in our community.  Now I think we’re around 60%.”

Littlewolfe is sure it can do the same thing for the other reserves.
