Iskatewizaagegan First Nation

This band of Ojibway's live in far western northwestern Ontario, near Minnesota. Their community is part of Lake of the Woods Reserve. Below is a satellite image of Iskatewizaagegan First Nation and google earth photos of other communities of Lake of the Woods Reserve. Canada will not recognize this Reserve they agreed to when they negotiated with Ojibway leaders during 1869-1870's Red River Rebellion. Ojibway leaders wanted a fair treaty and large Reserves for allowing Red River Colony to become independant of Ojibway rule. Canada agreed then lied. Chief Yellow Quill (he may have been chief Big Bear) had stationed Ojibway Soldiers at Portage la Prairie to prevent whites, Eskimos and mixed bloods from expanding west from Red River Colony. That led to those negotiations that led to creations of Rainy Lake Reserve and Lake of the Woods Reserve. Both are quite large. On-Reserve population of Iskatewizaagegan First Nation is 151 according to 2016's census. They have 57 dwellings with 48 lived in. Average household size is 2.9 persons per household. Around 60 people speak Ojibway at Iskatewizaagegan First Nation. Today, there are 35 or more Lake of the Woods Reserves. However, that original Lake of the Woods Reserve is yet in existence.
