Sakimay First Nation & History
This saskatchewan band of Anishinabe Indians probably originally lived in the Montana-North Dakota area. Their ogima, sakimay, signed treaty 4 in 1874, which ceded his peoples land and established their reserve. It was a sad event in the band history. Their first nation is located east of regina. Their reserve covers 11,295 hectares or 27,911 acres. As with all other Anishinabek reserves located around numerous white settlements, most of the enrolled citizens of sakimay, live off the first nation. Around 1,404 are enrolled, but only 241 live on the reserve in saskatchewan.
