Pikangikum First Nation


This Ojibway community is located in extreme northwest Ontario. With a mysterious history that is indicative of some sort of discrepancy intended to lure learners elsewhere, Pikangikum is very difficult to of. Below is a link to a satellite image of Pikangikum and links to google earth photos of all other Misipawistik Reserve communities. Pikangikum is an Ojibway community within Misipawistik Ojibway Reserve. Pikangikum (it's pronounced as Pi-kan-ji-kum - it's derived from bi-gaan-ji-ga-ming), leaders supposedly signed an adhesion to Treaty 5 in 1905. Another account claims they signed Treaty 5 on September 20, 1875 at Berens River, Manitoba. That's the discrepancy! Treaty 9 was signed in 1905-1906. Adhesions to Treaty 5 were signed in 1908-1910. They are Berens River Ojibwa's, as are Ojibway Folks from Berens River, Little Grand Rapids (more about LGR follows) Pauingassi and Poplar Hill. In 1978, Poplar Hill separated from Pikangikum. There is Grand Rapids in central Manitoba, where mouth of Saskatchewan River is. In Ojibway, Grand Rapids is pronounced "Chi Pawi." Adding "tig" defines it as "Grand Rapids Place." They pronounce it as "Chi Pawi'tig." The name Chippaway is derived from Chi Pawi! In some Ojibway dialects, the ending vowel in Chi Pawi is an "e." Thus, Chi Pawe does indeed sound like Chippaway! As for Little Grand Rapids, you must first know there is the Ojibwe diminutive to be aware of. So to define "Little Rapids," an "s" is added to Pawi which makes it "Pawis or Little Rapids." You now know they are using an Ojibway diminutive at Grand Rapids. Ojibway folks at Grand Rapids are naming their community Little Grand Rapids. They, however, are using deceit by using Misi Pawis'tik. In Ojibway, their word "misi" defines abound, abundant, considerable, flourish, plentiful, ect.



Since Little Grand Rapids (Chi Pawis'tig or Little Grand Rapids Place) is located east of Lake Winnipeg, Treaty 5 is not trustworthy! Why? You are intelligent enough to know why! So which two Ojibway communities is the real Little Grand Rapids? If you selected Little Grand Rapids east of Lake Winnipeg, you are correct! Folks at Grand Rapids made mistakes by using "misi" instead of "Chi or Ki-chi," and Pawis instead of Pawi. This may seem insignificant yet we can use the obvious discrepancies to claim Treaty 5 was about Ojibway land east of Lake Winnipeg, instead of Ojibway land west and east of Lake Winnipeg. We would have to determine which Treaty 5 signing concerned land east of Lake Winnipeg and west of Lake Winnipeg. The 1875-1876 signings seem to indicate land east of Lake Winnipeg was involved. Land from Norway House, down to Little Black River, northeast to Pikangikum, northeast to Red Sucker Lake, west to Island Lake then to Norway House was set aside to an Ojibway Reserve. The June 9, 1910 Treaty 5 adhesion signing at Deer Lake, Ontario is very corrupt. That Treaty 5 adhesion signing possibly happened at Reindeer Lake in north Manitoba and north Saskatchewan. It's likely many Ojibway Folks migrated north and northwest into central Manitoba and north central Saskatchewan. And many Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy, were relocated to this vast Ojibway Reserve! According to a 2011 census (they did not provide stats for 2016's census) Pikangikum First Nation population is 2,497. That does does not include those living away from Pikangikum. Their community is unorganized. Pikangikum does not have an appearance of a city or town. It's located adjacent to Pikangikum Lake on it's east.
