This Saulteaux Ojibwa Wabauskang First Nation is located at northwestern Ontario. Canadian leaders were so incredibly generous to leave them with a few acres to be their Reserve. Some Ojibwa leaders from Canada sought refugee at the United States in the 19th century because English leaders refused to set aside large Ojibwa Reserves. Ojibwa Folks living at Wabauskang First Nation know of that information. They also know they've been betrayed! Wabauskang First Nation is within Savanne Ojibwa Reserve. Population of Wabauskang First Nation is 70 (their population is well over 100) according to 2016's census. They have 29 dwellings with 26 lived in. Average household size is 2.6 persons per household. Around 20 speak Ojibwa Language at Wabauskang First Nation. History of Wabauskang First Nation is similar to other Ojibwa First Nations at Ontario. Canadian leaders forced Ojibwa's from their original community known as Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon (Quibell - it's located 30 miles or 48 kilometers south of Wabauskang) to relocate to Wabauskang in the 1950's. Prophesy has proven correct pertaining to fish being unfit to eat. At Quibell which Ojibwa Folks named Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon, they continued to live as their ancestors did by living in wigwams and fishing and hunting. Fish caught in the English-Wabigoon River System of that region after 1920, became unfit to eat because Canada deliberately allowed Kraft Pulp Mill (Dryden Pulp Mill) at Dryden to contaminate the English-Wabigoon River System. Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon was located adjacent to the CNR tracks. It was a railroad stop where supplies were kept for maintaining the railroad. Whites who lived there worked for the CNR railroad stop. Ojibwa's also lived there yet most were content living off the land. Quibell was a small railroad stop. In 1873, an Ojibwa leader (he was possibly a non authentic Ojibwa leader) signed Treaty 3. Ogima Sah-katch-e-way was led to believe a large Ojibwa Reserve had been set aside from Grassy Narrows to where Wabauskang is now, then south to Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon then southeast to Mi-gi-si Sah-ga-i-gan then southeast to Lac des Mille Lacs. Ojibwa Folks living throughout that location were content living as their ancestors did well into the 20th century. Their population was decimated in 1919. Charles Perrault who led Wabauskang, commenced a campaign to find safer locations for Ojibwa Folks at Wabauskang. Ojibwa's from Wabauskang found other locations to avoid epidemic diseases. Many relocated to Grassy Narrows, Lac Seul, Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon (aka Quibell) and other Ojibwa communities.
A year later in 1920, the Dryden Pulp Mill was built which later instigated trouble. During the early 20th century that entire land region was almost like it was 100 years earlier. It continues to be that way. Bertha Petiquan was born in the early 20th century at Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon (aka Quibell) and fondly remembered being raised by her uncles family. Her aunt was an expert at building large wigwams which she described in September 2007, as being warm inside during winter months and made of birch bark. That's an indication many of them were Ojibwa's who were descended from 19th century Ojibwa's who lived at or near European Trade Posts. Ojibwa's who lived at or near European Trade Posts stopped using the Ojibwa Totemic System which governed Ojibwa Folks and became lawless. Ojibwa men pimped their women and made their women do all the work. They even murdered their women and nothing was done about it because they were not governed by the Ojibwa Nation. Her uncle used a toboggan pulled by four dogs to trap from place to place yet always kept the family wigwam at the same location. During those times (early 20th century) the Ojibwa Totemic System had long been abolished by white leaders. Bertha went to school at the McIntosh Indian Residential School which is 8.3 miles or 13.3 kilometers west of Quibell, for only two years. During the 1940's, the first cases of an unknown disease (it was later discovered to be contamination from the Dryden Pulp Mill) brought concern to Ojibwa Folks living throughout the English-Wabigoon River System. In the 1950's at Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon (Quibell), Ojibwa Folks commenced to leave because they knew they were not wanted there. Whites who lived there worked for CNR Railroad. Ojibwa's from Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong and whites from Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon (Quibell), were compensated for the contamination brought on by the Dryden Pulp Mill yet Ojibwa's from Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon were not compensated. Some relocated to old Wabauskang. Canada then made them even more idiotic. A tiny area of land was set aside for them in the early 1970's (probably the all important year of 1973) yet Ojibwa's were living there before 1919. At this time Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon or Quibell, is a cluster of 15 to 20 housing units. It probably looks somewhat similar to the way it looked in the 1930's. Most housing units located adjacent to or near the CNR Railroad. Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon was a railroad stop intended to maintain the railroad. Whites who lived there discovered the region had some farmland. That's what caused the Ojibwa dispersal to Wabauskang and other nearby Ojibwa communities. They were forced to relocate from Paa-kaa-aa-gaa-mon.
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!
Wabauskang First Nation leaders and leaders of other Ontario Ojibwa First Nations must initiate a petition to establish an Ojibwa Reserve located at north Ontario with a land area of 100,000 sq. mi. or 160,934 sq. km for Ojibwa Folks. Cree People are really the Athabascan Beaver Tribe. There are no Cree First Nations at Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec! Below 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.
