The Cree were the most dominant First Nations people within the area and it was believed that they usually used the oil sands so as to waterproof their canoes. The first European explorer of the area was Peter Pond, who came to the region to look for fur. The explorer, Alexander MacKenzie made the first recorded description of the oil sands during the year 1790, and by that time, the explorers and Crees were already happening between them.
