History of Fort McKay First Nation of Alberta
These Ojibwa Folks are being violated. They think they are Cree yet they are Chipewyan. Many are mixed in race as a result of the nearby Athabasca Oil Sands. As Ojibwa Soldiers drove idiotic Ojibwa's (the Beaver Tribe who are Cree) west towards Peace River, northern Ojibwa's (the Chipewyan) continued their colonization of land from Chruchill River and to the north. It's very likely they settled at what is now the Fort McKay region long before 1820. Ojibwa Soldiers were being sent to north Alberta to combat the American expansion of forts at north Alberta and north British Columbia up to the Northwest Territories. Chipewyan's from the nearby Churchill Lake and Methy Lake region of Saskatchewan, continued their west expansion to the Athabasca Oil Sands region of Alberta. Europeans were extremely tempted to exploit the Athabasca Oil Sands. That brought Ojibwa Soldiers from Montana and south Alberta up to the Athabasca Oil Sands region. Ojibwa's had no use for the oil sands and were concerned about the construction of European Forts north of Montana. Eventually Ojibwa Soldiers brought most of north Alberta under their control. Peace River was a very difficult location to dominate. Russians allied with Americans and the Inuit supported them militarily and idiotic Ojibwa's made fools out of themselves. Ojibwa Soldiers had driven idiotic Ojibwa's (the Beaver Tribe) west of Peace River by 1800. Up at the Northwest Territories were other European Forts Montana Ojibwa leaders sought to destroy or dominate. So strict were they, enslaving idiotic Ojibwa's was an option they had to use to keep them from causing civil war. Fort McKay First Nation is thought to have signed Treaty 8. However, their close proximity to Chipewyans at Methy Lake and Churchill Lake suggests they were not signers of Treaty 8. There are no Cree First Nations at Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec! Below are excerpts from very old books that will help educate you! 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."
Alexander Henry may have known about Russians being established at Alaska and possibly Lower McKenzie River Valley during the early 1760's. Italians had established forts and trade posts as far west as Saskatchewan before 1760. Ojibwa Soldiers drove them out during the 1750-1763 War. After 1750-1763's War, Ojibwa leaders agreed by treaty, to allow American's to establish new trade posts as far west as Saskatchewan. They simply went to the old Italian Trade Posts at Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Alexander Henry was used as a lure to lure idiotic Ojibwa's to the trade posts at Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Henry used alcohol and drugs to lure idiotic Ojibwa's to trade posts during the 1770's and that infuriated Ojibwa leaders who knew how alcohol and addictive drugs made fools out of idiotic Ojibwa's. So addicted were they they'd pimp their women, kill off wild game and actually take care of the European staffs at European Forts and Trade Posts. They even waged war against Ojibwa People. That's how stupid they were! As long as the got their "Fix" they were mighty kind to whites. If they were denied their "Fix" they became very problematic.
Ojibwa's were already living at north Alberta long before 1788. Europeans conspired to halt Ojibwa's from continuing contact with Ojibwa's living at Siberia. It was Seven Fires Prophesy which brought Ojibwa's to Siberia 1,000's of years ago. After Fort Chipewyan and Fort Vermillion were established in 1788, civil war erupted among Ojibwa People. Not very many Ojibwa's sided with whites yet those that did caused Ojibwa's much trouble. They always kept at or near European Forts and Trade Posts. Ojibwa leaders did not want Ojibwa's fighting among themselves yet those Ojibwa's who were addicted to alcohol and drugs didn't care. Ojibwa Soldiers patrolled the region between Fort Chipewyan and Fort Vermillion and often slaughtered Ojibwa Traitors they captured. In some cases they enslaved them to keep them from causing trouble. Russians were established at the west coast and were known of by Ojibwa leaders. Usually with support from other natives and even idiotic Ojibwa's, Europeans established more forts and trade posts at north British Columbia and north Alberta. Ojibwa Soldiers were powerful enough to confine the Europeans and their idiotic Ojibwa allies west of Peace River. That was likely because of the Russian presence at that location. The English were supported by Russians and that made them a stronger force.
Either during the late 18th century or early 19th century, Ojibwa Soldiers had driven the idiotic Ojibwa's (the Beaver Tribe who are Ojibwa Traitors) west of Peace River. Chipewyans who are Ojibwa (Chipewyan is pronounced Chip-ah-wan and means Originals in Ojibwa Language) settled the land the Beaver Tribe were driven from. That be north Manitoba, north Saskatchewan and parts of extreme east Alberta and up to the Northwest Territories. Ojibwa's controlled McKenzie River from west of Great Bear Lake to Great Slave Lake. Enslaving Ojibwa's who refused to behave themselves was common. Ojibwa leaders absolutely did not want Ojibwa's fighting among themselves.
Fort McKay First Nation is supposedly a signatory to Treaty 8. However, Treaty 8 is probably an invalid treaty. To sign an authentic treaty with Ojibwa leaders white leaders had to consult with leaders of each major Ojibwa Totem which there were six. If each leader of the six major Ojibwa Totems were in agreement, the agreement became formal if the leader of the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem approved. That's how all Ojibwa Treaties were conducted. Treaty 8 was not conducted in that manner! Descriptions white historians of those times provided are indicators of the use of fraud. They wrote nearly all Indians were Christians, dressed like Europeans, some of the Beavers and Chipewyan spoke Cree, the chiefs and headmen are the most efficient hunters and trappers. That's all we need to know! Treaty 8 was not signed by authentic Ojibwa leaders. It was signed by Ojibwa Traitors who lived at or near European Forts and Trade Posts. Treaty 8 is invalid because white leaders could not get authentic Ojibwa leaders to sign the treaty. After informed their Reserves would be tiny they spit on the ground and told whites to get away from them! Since Treaty 8 was signed by non authentic Ojibwa leaders it's an invalid treaty that can be made authentic if a vast Ojibwa Reserve is created or we can wait until some far future time to settle this predicament.
Population of Fort McKay (it's quickly becoming a white town) First Nation is 621 according to 2021's census. There are 268 dwellings with 216 lived in. Average household size is 2.9 persons per househol. According to 2021's census, 55 people speak Corrupted Ojibwa Language which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language and 10 speak Corrupted Chipewyan at Fort McKay First Nation. Ojibwa's (Chipewyan's) living at Fort McKay First Nation are closely related to Ojibwa's (Chipewyan's) from La Loche (Clearwater River First Nation) and Buffalo Narrows (Buffalo River First Nation), Saskatchewan.
