Shuswap Indians
They are a lost Ojibway Tribe. Below are links to google earth photos of one of their communities. White historians are convinced Shuswap People are Salish. We know Salish People are Algonquian and non Algonquian. North of Shuswap Indians are Chilcotin and Dekalh Peoples who are Athabascan. They may be Cree Ojibway's who whites named Beaver Indians and Keskatchewan Indians. One of Shuswap Indians chiefs was an Ojibway leader named Jean Baptiste Lolo who was also known as chief Saint Paul or chief Paul. Ojibway People need only to investigate Jacques Cardinal's life. Chief Jacques Cardinal lived near or at what is now Jasper National Park. He was born in 1767. We know he had several daughters including Kookoo Cardinal. She married chief Old Bone or Ga-ta Kan. They had a son they named O-ka-nese or O-ga-nese or The Little Bone. He was born around 1790. He may have been chief Paul. Investigate chief Okanese and you'll find out chief Paul was his son. That can't be. Chief Paul was born in 1798. Chief Okanese (probably chief Paul) had a son named Keeseekoowenin who was born in 1818. He had other sons that were bought by HBC (Hudson Bay Company) to do what whites wanted. They were chief Baptiste Bone (dob 1836), chief Cowessess or chief Kiwisance (dob between 1811 and 1863), chief George Bone (dob 1856), chief Keeseekoowenin (dob 1818), chief Mekis (dob between 1811 and 1863), chief Red Pheasant (dob between 1811 and 1863), chief Wuttunee (dob between 1811 and 1863), chief Louis O'Soup and chief Jean Baptiste Lolo St. Paul (aka chief Paul). Chief Paul is our Shuswap proof. You can obvously tell something is wrong. Chief Paul had 7 sons. He worked for HBC as an interpreter and trader. HBC considered chief Paul leader (aka an alliance) of British Columbia's interior Salish (Ojibway) People. However, Ojibway People did not consider chief Paul to be a leader. They considered him an employee of HBC. Chief Paul was native to Jasper, Alberta's region and a region south and southwest of Edmonton, Alberta. His son chief Keeseekoowenin, moved to Manitoba. However, chief Paul stayed near Jasper and followed HBC to interior British Columbia. His domain was North Thompson River which leads to Kamloops. He worked for HBC at Thompson's River Post at Kamloops, from 1828 until his death. His surname of Paul is a baptismal name. His Ojibway surname is O-ka-niiz. He was an insignificant leader. Those Ojibway's that refused to recognize chief Paul as leader, retreated west to where Chilcotin People live. They fought 1864's Chilcotin War. Canada is forcing Shuswap People to assimilate. Far in a future time era, Canadian leaders will be horrifically punished. It's their choice. Shuswap leaders will not do anything to prevent assimilation or Genocide. I really doubt if Ojibway leaders will help them.
