Blood First Nation

Located in southern Alberta, the Anishinabe Blood First Nation has a total population of 10,730, with the majority living on-reserve. There are 3,132 living off-reserve, while 7,597 live on-reserve. Their ancestors obviously took part in the wars which occurred between 1866 and 1877, against the Freemasons, in what is now the northern plains of the United States. After losing the war, their leaders agreed to sign treaty seven with Canadian Freemason leaders on September 22, 1877, as long as the whites set aside large Reserves which they did. There are two Reserves which make up the blood first nation. The first, and largest, is Blood 148 which covers 134,293 hectares or 331,845 acres, and Blood 148A which covers 1,971 hectares or 4,870 acres. However, the real size of this first nation is actually much larger. Total hectares is 136,264 hectares or 336,715 acres. Reading William W. Warrens classic 19th century book "History of the Ojibway People," will help you to learn the correct history of the Blackfoot people. In order to understand Warrens book, you must read the Story of Atlantis. If you don't, you'll find Warrens book puzzling.
