Louis Bull 138B is an Indian reserve of the Louis Bull First Nation in Alberta, located within County of Wetaskiwin No. 10.[3] One of four reserves making up the Maskwacis community, it is 16 kilometers southwest of Wetaskiwin.[1] In the 2016 Canadian Census, it recorded a population of 1177 living in 226 of its 276 total private dwellings.[2]

As of 2001, nearly 50% of individuals on-reserve are over the age of 15, suggesting severe demographic strain commonly found in the Third World. Average incomes among full-time labourers remain approximately $18,000 under the Alberta provincial average, and the Canadian government reports a 40% unemployment rate. The per-room occupancy rate on this reserve is double that of the provincial average.

Education

Wetaskiwin Regional Division No. 11 operates public schools serving the reserve: Falun Elementary School serves primary grades,[4] and Pigeon Lake Regional School serves secondary grades.[5]
