Shoal Lake First Nation

Located where Pakwaw Lake, Saskatchewan is, is Shoal Lake First Nation. This Saulteaux Ojibway Reserve is actually within Misipawistik Ojibway Reserve. They are signatories of Treaty 5. They were listed being under Pas Band, specifically Pas Mountain. If you read Treaty 5 Text, you'll read about Saulteaux Ojibway's being listed under Pas Band including Pas Mountain yet they do not mention Shoal Lake. They only mention Pas Mountain which includes Red Earth also. They are closely related to those Saulteaux Ojibway's of Cumberland House, which is a few miles to their northeast. Population of Shoal Lake First Nation is 424 according to 2016's census. That does not include those living with whites. They have 118 dwellings with 115 lived in. Average household size is 3.7 persons per household. Some 415 speak Corrupted Ojibway which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language. Read an excerpt from Treaty 5 below. It will help you understand this somewhat! There's a conspiracy at this Reserve, to promote being Cree! Your not fooling me by claiming you are Cree. I'm enforcing law! You are charged with Desertion during time of war and Forging a False National Identity during time of war. That is an extremely serious crime! Cree People are really the Athabascan Beaver Tribe. There are no Cree First Nations in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec! Below are excerpts from very old books that will help you learn!
