Valley River First Nation


This Saulteaux Ojibwa Valley River First Nation is located at extreme southwest Manitoba. Below are several links to google earth photos of Valley River. They have no town just housing units located adjacent to roads. Adjacent on the north is an area of dense woodlands and Duck Mountain National Park. Valley River First Nation Ojibwa's are supposedly affiliated with Gambler Ojibwa's. Their original Reserve may have been what is now Riding Mountain National Park or Duck Mountain National Park. Concerning Valley River First Nation History, they were managed by Birtle Agency. Their original Reserve is Riding Mountain National Park or Duck Mountain National Park. Reason for the discrepancy is possibly the Gambler Ojibwa's who are supposedly affiliated with Valley River Ojibwa's. Valley River Ojibwa's were originally managed by Birtle Agency and were listed with the Cote, Keeseekoose and Key Ojibwa's. Birtle Agency managed these following Ojibwa's:



Oak Lake, Oak River, Turtle Mountain

Birdtail Creek, Gamblers, Keeseekoowenin, Rolling River, Waywayseecappo

Cote, Keeseekoose, Key, Valley River

Pheasant Rump, Red Ears, White Bear

In 1889, Cote, Keeseekoose and Key were transferred to Pelly Agency. In 1905, Valley River was transferred to Pelly Agency. That indicates Birtle Agency managed them from 1893 to 1904. Canada covered up an incident involving chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa's. In 1904, a decision was made to transfer Valley River to Pelly Agency and it was because of land surrenders to Montana Ojibwa's. It indicates Montana Ojibwa's were relocated to Valley River in 1904 and 1905. We've been told to find evidence along a trail by prophesy. We are following prophesy! Valley River First Nation was set aside for chief Rocky Boys Montana Ojibwa Subjects. Chief Rocky Boy either reached an agreement in 1903 or 1904, to relocate some of his Montana Ojibwa Subjects to Valley River First Nation!



If there's a "Turtle" in the name of an Ojibwa Reservation and Reserve we must reject and consider it a lure. The infamous Turtle Shaped Island mentioned in prophesy is located at Giant Springs at Great Falls, Montana where the Great Falls of the Missouri River are. They are five waterfalls. Including Giant Springs and the island located at Giant Springs, it totals seven stopping places. White leaders knew of Ojibwa Prophesy and either destroyed the island at Giant Springs or submerged the infamous island after building a small dam around Giant Springs which created a small Reservoir of enough height to submerge the infamous island. However, an 1884 photo of Giant Springs shows an island at Giant Springs. What we don't know concerning Birtle Agency is if the agency managed one large Ojibwa Reserve or four Ojibwa Reserves. Since they grouped Valley River First Nation with the Cote, Keeseekoose and Key Ojibwa's we'll agree that their Reserve was quite large and located where the woodlands and Duck Mountain National Park is. Cote, Keeseekoose and the Key Ojibwa's are situated on the west of the woodlands and Valley River Ojibwa's adjacent on the south of the woodlands. Canada forced them to leave their large Reserve and settle where they live now. Some Gambler Ojibwa's were possibly forced to relocate further south where their tiny Reserve is now during the forced relocations. Valley River First Nation is a community of Duck Mountains Ojibwa Reserve which we should include as a part of Lake Manitoba Ojibwa Reserve. However, history indicates that Birtle Agency managed them. Lake Manitoba Agency did not manage them. We can place Duck Mountains Ojibwa Reserve adjacent to Lake Manitoba Ojibwa Reserve Reserve however. Valley River First Nation population is 360 according to 2021's census. They have 119 dwellings with 117 lived in. Average household size is 3.1 persons per household. An estimated 5.6% of the population of Valley River First Nation is 70 years of age or older. Ojibwa Language is no longer spoken at Valley River First Nation. They are mainly descended from chief The Gamler's Ojibwa's. Ojibwa's of Valley River First Nation are plains Ojibwa's and woodland Ojibwa's. In Ojibwa Language, Plains People are named "Mus-sco-deg." It also means "Prairie People."



Leaders of Valley River First Nation must agree with all Ojibwa leaders of Manitoba to petition Canada for a very large Ojibwa Reserve to be set aside at Manitoba. 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!
