Located at north-central Saskatchewan, Lac La Ronge First Nation is an Ojibwa community nearly adjacent to La Ronge which is probably a predominantly white town. Lac la Ronge First Nation is a part of Misipawistik Ojibwa Reserve. Below are links to google earth photos of Lac La Ronge, Air Ronge and kitsakie. Population of Lac La Ronge First Nation is 1,349 according to 2021's census. Including Air Ronge (Canada will not accept this) and Kitsakie the population of Lac La Ronge Reserve First Nation increases to 3,245. That part of Air Ronge adjacent to Air Ronge is located from Fairchild Street to Royal Avenue to Moochikun (Ojibwa word for fence) Street to Muhihkan (Ojibwa word for wolf) Pl to Wapos Avenue to Wilson Charles Drive. Many more Ojibwa's and mixed bloods live at Air Ronge and La Ronge. Canada is trying to assimilate natives! They have 938 dwellings (336 at Lac La Ronge, 465 at adjacent Air Ronge and 137 at Kitsakie which is adjacent to La Ronge City) with 845 (312 at Lac La Ronge, 434 at adjacent Air Ronge and 129 at Kitsakie) lived in. Average household size is 3.8 persons per household. Around 465 people speak Corrupted Ojibwa Language (210 Lac La Ronge - 125 Air Ronge - 130 Kitsakie) which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language. They know their history and that they came from Grand Rapids, Manitoba. Read an excerpt from Treaty 5 below very carefully. Authentic Ojibwa leaders would never agree to such a treaty in which they gave away everything forever! They are Saulteaux Ojibwa People. They are closely related to Ojibwa folks at Montreal Lake and Peter Ballantyne. In fact, both Montreal Lake and Lac la Ronge, signed an adhesion to Treaty 6 on February 11, 1889. What they don't know is they are also from chief Yellow Quills Ojibwa Subjects. Apparently a rejection of chief Yellow Quill History is nothing. Chief Yellow Quill was set aside a Reserve known as Touchwood Hills Ojibwa Reserve. Other Ojibwa's included with Touchwood Hills Ojibwa Reserve include Day Star, Gordon, Kawacatoose and Muskowekwan. Yellow Quill (aka Nut Lake) is the central portion of Touchwood Hills Ojibwa Reserve. Whatever transpired to force chief Yellow Quill to send his sub-chief Kinistin to the north is not known yet might be related to 1885's Northwest Rebellion. Chief Kinistin led many Ojibwa People from Touchwood Hills Ojibwa Reserve to Barrier River which is a few kilometers or few miles north of Yellow Quill. He then led them further north to where Lac la Ronge, Montreal Lake and Peter Ballantyne are. Lac la Ronge First Nation has several settlements in Saskatchewan besides one near Air Ronge (Air Ronge is a predominantly Ojibwa community) and La Ronge. Many came from Grand Rapids which is where Saskatchewan River's mouth is! They must be included with Grand Rapids Band of Saulteaux Ojibwa's also! 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." Remember that white leaders are suppose to prove to Native Americans that whites are the brothers and sisters of Native Americans! That's obviously a concept white leaders can't comprehend.

We, the Band of the Saulteaux Tribe of Indians residing at the mouth of the Saskatchewan River, on both sides thereof, having had communication of the foregoing treaty, hereby, and in consideration of the provisions of the said treaty being extended to us, transfer, surrender and relinquish to Her Majesty the Queen, Her heirs and successors, to and for the use of the Government of Canada, all our right, title and privileges whatsoever, which we have or enjoy in the territory described in the said treaty, and every part thereof, to have and to hold to the use of Her Majesty the Queen and Her heirs and successors for ever. And Her Majesty agrees, through the said Commissioners, to assign a reserve of sufficient area to allow one hundred and sixty acres to each family of five, or in that proportion for larger or smaller families-such reserve to be laid off and surveyed next year on the south side of the River Saskatchewan.
Look for the mountain peak shape on the map. That's where Churchill is located. Churchill River is almost adjacent to Churchill Town. Part London of Hudson Bay is written above the mountain shaped peak. You can tell it's been violated! It should read "Part of Hudson Bay." Andrew Graham drew the map in 1774. In 1991, another source "Ruggles," either copied the 1774 map of Andrew Graham or changed it. Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba (Mantouabau) look awkward! That's because the map is from southeast to northwest. Nekawawuck Indian Country represents Northern Ojibwa Territory. It's definition is not known. However, the "ne" represents point in Ojibwa Language so it refers to a place and people. Discovering what "ka-wa-wuck" means won't be easy! Word for "Freezing" in Ojibwa Language is either "Mash-ka-wad-ji-win or Ga-wad-ji-win." The 'd' is not pronounced. It's used to let learners know that the following 'j' is pronounced like judge, just, ect. Not like 'zhi.' Ne Ka-wa-wuck probably means "Point Freeze People." Pronunciation is "Nay Ga-wa-wug." An excellent description of the Churchill, Manitoba region! Of course, you've noticed the point where Churchill is! Keskachewan (Italians and the Beaver Tribe or Cree) Territory extends to almost Nunavut. Dogrib Territory (Ateemouspecky) Territory is located at southwest Nunavut.
This is a satellite image of the same region from google earth. It's from a southeast to northwest direction. It fits in well with the 1774 Andrew Graham Map. Lake Winnipeg looks almost similar to how it's depicted on the 1774 Andrew Graham Map.
What did they mean by "Keskachewans Resort Prior To European Settlements?" Were they indicating the Keskachewans resorted to migrate west. If they did resort to a west migration, Graham was writing about the establishment of Cumberland House at Saskatchewan in 1774 by Samuel Hearne. That would confirm the Keskachewans were Europeans with some of the Beaver Tribe (the Assiniboine and Cree) who sneaked their way to what is now the Cumberland House Region of Saskatchewan in 1774. Italians had already reached that area decades earlier! That's why Graham was familiar with that region! If Graham was referring to Italians reaching Manitoba and Saskatchewan in the 1730's and early 1750's that is! Fort de la Corne was built in 1753. It was located east of what is now Prince Albert, Saskatchewan almost adjacent to the east border of James Smith Reserve. Fort La Jonquiere was built in 1751 and was located near what is now Nipawin, Saskatchewan. Italians had established forts at south Manitoba in the 1730's. Using alcohol and drugs they lured in idiotic Ojibwa's (the Beaver Tribe or Assiniboine and Cree) who pitched their camps near the three Italian Forts built at south Manitoba. After Ojibwa Soldiers drove the Italians out during 1750-1763's War, those idiotic Ojibwa's relocated to European Forts adjacent to Hudson Bay. If Keskachewans do represent Europeans it means Northern Ojibwa Territory extends as far north as the Arctic Ocean! Graham wrote "NORTHERN KESKACHEWAN - BEAVER INDIANS." Cursive writing on the maps is very difficult to decipher. Graham was certainly referring to Europeans and idiotic Ojibwa's (the Assiniboine and Cree) as being the KESKACHEWANS AND BEAVER INDIANS. SOUTHERN KESKACHEWANS REPRESENT EUROPEANS OR ITALIAN'S. Evidently Italians continued to live at south Manitoba in the late 18th century. Though Graham wrote Assiniboine as Asenepoets we know who they are. Asenepoets is pronounced 'Ah-sin-ni-poats.' Read the following carefully. At Island Lake, Manitoba, Ojibwa leaders of Garden Hill, St. Theresa Point, Wasagamack and Red Sucker Lake are so stupid they don't know what "Oji" means. It's a combined word meaning "The originals." The "O" means 'the' in Ojibwa Language. Similar in sound to the Ojibwa word for 'that' which is "aw." It's pronounced "ow." It ryhmes with 'cow.' Oji is from "O Tchi Bwa." Word for before as in original in Ojibwa Language is "Tchi Bwa." It's pronounced "Tchib Bwa." Some Ojibwa Language Dialects pronounce it "Ji Bwa or Jib Bwa." They're scared and looking for excuses!
