It is one of four Ojibwa Districts of Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve located at southeast Saskatchewan. Sakimay First Nation is not a separate Reserve as one would get the impression of. It is located within Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve. Below are links to satellite images of Sakimay town, a map of Sakimay District and map to Sakimay's north portion which was stolen in 1907. Below that 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 2021's census. Their on-Reserve population in 2011 was 311. They are not being honest about this district of Crooked Lakes Reserve. Sakimay First Nation leaders are allowing whites to invade and colonize their land. We would have a belief in that yet history indicates a portion of Sakimay District was stolen in 1907. They have 174 dwellings (in 2011 it was 190) with 80 lived. Average household size is 3.2 persons per household. An estimated 4.0% of the population of Sakimay First Nation is 70 years of age or older. However, there are not 250 Ojibwa's living at SFN. We must refer to 2006's population of 169 to obtain the correct data. Sakimay First Nations population should have an estimated 6.0% at 70 years of age or older. During 2006's census they reported that Sakimay First Nation Reserve had 61 dwellings with 55 lived in and it's population was 169. What that indicates is a large percentage of the 2021 population of Sakimay First Nation is white. According to 2021's census around 10 people speak Saulteaux Ojibwa at Sakimay First Nation. To obtain what the demographics of Sakimay should be, we must use 2006's census. Reason for the housing and population discrepancy is whites are being allowed to colonize this Ojibwa First Nation! However, it's because of the 1907 theft of the north portion of Sakimay District. More about that is below. There is a very small Sakimay Town located near government buildings.
History of Sakimay First Nation must include all of Crooked Lakes Reserve. These Ojibwa Folks as all Ojibwa Folks of Crooked Lakes Reserve excepting those Montana Ojibwa's forcefully relocated to 1907's land surrenders, were under chief Waywayseecappo's leadership. His district extended from east of Fort Ellice, Manitoba to west of Crooked Lakes at Saskatchewan. Land adjacent to and north and south of QU'Appelle River was their land. In 1907, American leaders forced Ojibwa's living at their Lemhi Reservation at southwest Montana and adjacent Idaho, to relocate to other Reservations. Chief Rocky Boy led them. Many relocated to Fort Hall Reservation at Idaho. Most relocated to Navajo Reservations 1907 land addition which was set aside for them. Others were allotted 20,704 acres of land at Crooked Lakes Reserve. Canada betrayed them and gave the land to white settlers. Information about that is down further on this page. Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve should be around 30,000 acres larger. Crooked Lakes Reserve leaders are under the impression that the Little Bone (Okanese) Band of Saulteaux Ojibwa's at Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve (originally known as Okanese Ojibwa Reserve) north of Crooked Lakes, were relocated to Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve in 1907, from Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve or Okanese Ojibwa Reserve. Chief Okanese was the half brother of chief Cowessess who lived at Montana up to 1876 or 1877. During Montana's 1876-1877 War, large numbers of Montana Ojibwa's fled up to the Cypress Hills of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Chief Cowessess was reported to be living near what is now Maple Creek, Saskatchewan and receiving annuities there in 1880. Maple Creek is situated a few miles north of the Cypress Hills. His half brother chief Okanese, was living near Fort Ellice, Manitoba and received annuities at Fort Ellice in 1880. Both were probably not authentic Ojibwa leaders!
Pay attention to this following information! Chief Okanese and his Ojibwa Subjects were included as dependants of chief Cowessess or they were included on the Cowessess paylist from 1874 to 1880. That's a use of betrayal. Why? Chief Cowessess was living 170 miles northeast of Great Falls, Montana. We are following prophesy. In 1880, chief Okanese and his Ojibwa's commenced to receive their annuities at Fort Ellice, Manitoba. However, they continued to be identified as from the Cowessess Ojibwa's. That indicates chief Okanese relocated his Montana Ojibwa's to Files Hills Ojibwa Reserve and Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve (aka Okanese Ojibwa Reserve). Fort Ellice is 335 miles east of Maple Creek. And File Hills Ojibwa Reserve and Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve are the same Ojibwa Reserve. File Hills Ojibwa Reserve must extend over 30 miles east to Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve which often is named Crescent Lake Reserve. White settlers made their way to the Leech Lake region and demanded the east portion of File Hills Ojibwa Reserve. Chief Cowessess had to relocate to Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve. Adjacent to Sakimay First Nation on the east is Cowessess First Nation. Now you understand the connection! Chief Cowessess was very enraged! Montana Ojibwa's who fled to the Cypress Hills demanded a large Ojibwa Reserve around the Cypress Hills. Instead, they were forced to relocate 100's of miles east to Crooked Lakes. Most Ojibwa's of Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve can trace their ancestry to the Great Falls, Montana region or north central Montana. Chief Cowessess expected the requested Ojibwa Cypress Hills Reserve! In 1881, chief Okanese and his Ojibwa Subjects were given annuities of their own or separate from Cowessess Ojibwa's. What that indicates is File Hills Ojibwa Reserve was now a separate Reserve and Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve was a separate Reserve. That means both Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve and File Hills Ojibwa Reserve were one Reserve. In fact, Crooked Lakes Reserve, File Hills Reserve, QU'Appelle Lakes Reserve and Touchwood Hills Reserve was one large Ojibwa Reserve. Within that entire region are incredible numbers of lakes. Both Ojibwa leaders and white leaders considered the land region worthless. Surrounding the lakes were woodlands. Historians persist on that chief Okanese amalgamated with Sakimay Ojibwa's. They're forgetting Okanese First Nation at File Hills Ojibwa Reserve.
On June 30, 1906, Mathhew Millar who was agent of Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve, wrote information about Sakimay District of Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve. He described Sakimay District extending north to QU'Appelle Valley and Crooked Lake with a smaller portion adjacent to and north of Crooked Lake known as Shesheep Reserve and the population of Sakimay in 1906 was 158. He also explained that what remained of Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve belonged to Sakimay District. In March 1907, Duncan Campbell demanded the surrender of Leech Lake Ojibwa Reserve and amalgamation of it's Ojibwa Population with Sakimay. William Graham was authorized to take land from Sakimay District for Montana Ojibwa's American's did not want at Montana. A total of 6,796 acres of Sakimay Distric was allotted (stolen) to up to 30 to 40 Montana Ojibwa's. You have to follow evidence along a trail as told by prophesy. We are following prophesy. Many Ojibwa's of Sakimay First Nation can trace their ancestry to southwest Montana where most of Lemhi Reservation was located. Chief Rocky Boy did not agree to cede Lemhi Reservation. In fact, he negotiated with Senator Dixon for a smaller Lemhi Reservation adjacent to Anaconda, Montana to Big Hole River near Wisdom, Montana. Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve is one of chief Rocky Boys many Reservations and Reserves. On August 31, 1907, the allotments to chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa's was approved. Today, at Sakimay First Nation they've forgotten about those incidents.
An unknown number of chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects were also ceded 20,704 acres of Cowessess Reserve. Up to 200 to 300 Montana Ojibwa's were relocated to Crooked Lakes Ojibwa Reserve in 1907 and the years following. Canada refused to honor the agreement and instead of giving the 27,500 acres (6,796 acres is from old Shesheep 74 A Reserve) to Montana Ojibwa's, they gave the land to white settlers. An extremely serious incident of betrayal. The land belongs to Montana Ojibwa's who relocated to Crooked Lakes Reserve. Sakimay Districts north portion or Shesheep 74 A Reserve, was stolen in 1907. The white towns of Greenfell Beach and Melville Beach are located on the stolen land belonging to chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects. Though the map of Shesheep 74 A Reserve lets you think it's a part of Sakimay District, it was stolen in 1907! Leaders of Sakimay First Nation must agree with all other Ojibwa First Nation leaders at Saskatchewan, to petition Canada to create a vast Ojibwa Reserve at Saskatchewan. 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.

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!
