Beardy's-Okemasis First Nation


Located in central Saskatchewan and famous for it's part in 1885's Northwest Rebellion, Beardy's-Okemasis First Nation Reserve has a suspicious history. They are within the Ojibwa Duck Lake Reserve which was possibly set aside for chief Yellow Quill's Ojibwa Subjects. According to 2021's census, on-Reserve population of Beardy's-Okemasis First Nation Reserve is 1,249. It decreased from 1,323 in 2016 to 1,249 in 2021. They have 315 dwellings with 304 lived in. Average household size is 4.0 persons per household. Around 150 speak Corrupted Ojibwa Language which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language. Cree People are really the Athabascan Beaver Tribe. There are no Cree First Nations at Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec! Below the photos are excerpts from very old books that will help you learn information on this page! Look for the 18th century maps. Instead of south to north they are from southeast to northwest. Churchill River is the north boundary. A few Assiniboine and Cree lived west of Lake Winnipeg but were driven to the northwest by 1800 by Ojibwa Soldiers. Churchill River was a boundary used in the 18th century. From Churchill, Manitoba to South Indian Lake, Manitoba to Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan to Buffalo Narrows, Saskatchewan where the source of Churchill River is, this river flows for 1,000 miles. It's source is Churchill Lake, Saskatchewan. All land north of Churchill River is Chipewyan land. Chipewyan is the correct pronunciation of O Chib-bwan or Chib-bwan which means "The Originals and Originals in Ojibwa Language."
