Sakimay First Nation


It is one of four Ojibway communities of CLR CLR located at southeast Saskatchewan. Sakimay First Nation is located within Crooked Lakes Ojibway Reserve. Below is a link to a satellite image of Sakimay and links to google earth photos of Cowessess which is capital of Crooked Lakes Reserve and Kahkewistahaw and a satellite image of Ochapowace. Below the photos are excerpts from very old books that will help you learn information on this page! Sakimay First Nation has an on-Reserve population of 250 according to a 2021 census. Their on-Reserve population in 2011 was 311. They are not being honest about this district of Crooked Lakes Reserve. Sakimay leaders are allowing whites to invade and colonize their land. They have 174 housing units (in 2011 is was 170) with 80 lived. Average household size is 3.2 persons per household. Reason for the housing and population discrepancy is whites are being allowed to colonize this Ojibwa Reserve! Reserve leaders are not looking out for this Reserves Ojibwa People. There is no Sakimay Town but a few houses located near government building. Also at Ochapowace! In 1907, a large area of land from Cowessess Reserve was given to chief Rocky Boys Ojibwa Subjects from Montana. At Canada, it's known as Land Surrenders from 1897 to 1911. American leaders forced Montana Ojibwa's to relocate several times between 1896 and 1909. Actual relocations may have continued up to 1934. An unknown number of chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects were ceded 20,704 acres of Cowessess Reserve. Up to 200 Montana Ojibwa's were relocated to Crooked Lakes Reserve in 1907 and the years following. Canada refused to honor the agreement and instead of giving the 20,704 acres to Montana Ojibwa's, they gave the land to white settlers. The land belongs to the Montana Ojibwa's who relocated to Crooked Lakes Reserve and Cowessess Reserve. 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."
