Located in far northeastern Manitoba, Gods Lake First Nation is an Ojibway Misipawistik Ojibway Reserve community. Gods Lake First Nation population is 982 according to a 2016 census. They have 251 dwellings with 246 lived in. Average household size is 4.0 persons per household. Around 375 speak Corrupted Ojibway Language which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language, at God's Lake First Nation. In Ojibway Language, God's Lake would be pronounced "Ga-mi Na-gost." It means "Lake Creators" in Ojibway Language. It can also be pronounced "Na-gost Ga-mi." However, Ojibway's followed "Vowel Laws." Word for Creator in Ojibway is from "Form & Shape" which is "i-zhi-'na-gos'-si-win." A "d" or a "t" is added to a word signifying a persons role in life in Ojibway Language. According 1832's Edinburgh Encyclopedia, Ojibway People gave rise to Chipewyan People, Copper People, Cree People and Dogrib People. Staff at HBC named Northern Ojibway People "Nakawawuck or Nekawawuck and Lake Indians." Andrew Graham wrote in 1771, that Ojibway's forced their way to York Fort (aka York Factory) in 1762 or during Pontiac's War. They were there to prevent white expansion inland. They did trade now and then according to Andrew Graham who also wrote that Northern Ojibway People commanded all lakes (thus why they were named Lake Indians) from York Fort Rivers (Nelson River and Hayes River), well inland to Lake Winnipeg.
