Michipicoten First Nation

This group of Ojibwa's live in northern Ontario. We'll name their vast Reserve Michipicoten Ojibwa Reserve. Michipicoten First Nation has a troubled history relationship with the evil white race. Below are links to google earth photos of some of the Reserves communities. One is a satellite image of Michipicoten Town which is very small. On-Reserve population of Michipicoten First Nation is, according to a 2025 estimate, only 61. Their population has steadily decreased for quite some time. Ojibwa Language has died out there. Mishipicoten First Nation are signatories to 1850's Robinson-Superior Treaty. Chief Totomencie (it's supposedly pronounced as To-to-min-ny) and at least two other Ojibwa chiefs who were sub-chiefs, signed 1850's Robinson-Superior Treaty. However, they excluded Pic Band Ojibwa's supposedly yet that is very likely false. According to certain Robinson-Superior Treaty text, Fort William Ojibwa's wanted Lake Nipigon and Mobert Ojibwa's with them yet it was white leaders expressing that idea. Instead of dealing with these Ojibwa People that lived along Lake Superior's north and east shores as one group, Ojibwa leaders demanded that they remain in their native lands. That meant three large Reserves. One at Fort William, one at Lake Nipigon and one at Michipicoten. Nine (it was really 27) Ojibwa leaders signed 1850's Robinson-Superior Treaty. Each was set aside their own Reserve. Michipicoten leaders would have killed English negotiators if they were set aside a 4 square mile Reserve. Ojibwa leaders considered 1 mile to be 1 league or 3 miles. Each of their Reserves were 12 miles by 12 miles or 144 square miles (they're really much larger) or 373 square kilometers. That's 432 square miles or 1,119 square kilometers. However, we know Pic River and Mobert Ojibwa's were involved. Each had to send three of their chiefs. That means this Reservation is around 576 square miles (it's much larger) or 1,491.8 square kilometers. Exactly how many Ojibwa leaders signed with Michipicoten is not known. It may have been as many as 12. White leaders are notorious liars. After Ojibwa leaders discovered they were lied to, they became enraged. Many Ojibwa People of this Reserve, had to find other places to live after Canada refused to honor treaty. Chapleau First Nations is one location and Missanabie is another. And there are others as well. They became non status or Stragglers yet they signed treaty. As mentioned, white leaders lied. When gathered for treaty negotiations authentic Ojibwa leaders explained to English negotiators that there was enough land for vast Ojibwa Reserves and land involved was nearly all non agriculture land. After Ojibwa surveyors had completed surveying land for their Reserves, they informed their leaders and they informed white leaders where they selected their Reserves. That tried entering the ears of English negotiators yet they became deaf and confused. They didn't comprehend. Of course, that's after treaty negotiations. Authentic Ojibwa leaders left treaty negotiations knowing large Ojibwa Reserves had been set aside. However, before treaty negotiations commenced, authentic Ojibwa leaders had gathered many Ojibwa People and migrated away from the evil white race. They knew what their future foretold. In Ojibwa Language Michipicoten might mean "Enormous Enduring and Great Enduring." Picoten is possibly derived from the Ojibwa word "Bekadendagosiwin." It's definition is "long suffering, patience and endurance." After Canada refused to honor treaty Michpicoten Ojibwa's dealt with several forced removals that enraged them. All around was vast areas of wilderness that Canada would not share with Ojibwa People. 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 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." 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.

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. 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!
