Wilton Littlechild is from the Erminskin First Nation, part of the community of Maskwacîs (ᒪᐢᑲᐧᒌᐢ). He attended two residential schools as a child for a total of 14 years of his life from 1951 to 1964. His grandparents, Chief Dan Minde and Mary Jane Minde raised him to be proud of his culture and have a strong work ethic. He credits sports for giving him inspiration to persevere the hardships of residential school. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1967 from the University of Alberta. He returned to receive his Master’s degree in physical education in 1975. After breaking a leg in a skiing accident, he began to coach hockey forming the first all-Indigenous junior hockey team in Alberta. This lead to an invitation to an NHL management school where he decided a degree in law would be a path to a management role in hockey. He became the First treaty Indigenous lawyer from Alberta and the first Indigenous student to graduate from the law school at the University of Alberta. Chief Littlechild focused his studies on international law. He was honoured by ceremony by the Ermineskin First Nation where he received a headdress as an honourary Chief. He was bestowed the name of his grandfather Mahihgan Pimoteyw, Walking Wolf. In 1977 he set up his law practice on the Erminskin reserve.

He is currently a member of Expert Mechanism on the Right of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) and has served two years as Chairperson.
