Peguis, Manitoba
Their history originates in the Selkirk-Winnipeg region. Below are links to google earth photos of Peguis. A Reserve known as St. Peters Reserve was set aside for them in the 19th century. Since Fisher River is near Peguis, it means those folks at Fisher River, were among the first Ojibwa's from St. Peters Reserve to relocate north. They did not relocate to Fisher River from Norway House. That happened with 1875's Treaty 5 signing. Peguis is one of many communities of the Ojibwa Misipawistik Reserve. It's a widely scattered settlement or disorganized. About 1.3 miles or 2.1 kilometers southeast of Peguis's main portion, is a cluster of housing units, we will name South Peguis. Another cluster of housing units is located 0.6 miles or 1.0 kilometers southwest of Peguis's main portion, we will name Central Peguis. There are apartment buildings, so calculating Peguis's total housing units is difficult. It's anywhere from 100 to 150 housing units however. Population of Peguis is anywhere from 330 to 500. Average household size for this Ojibwa Reserve is 3.3 persons per household. Canada does not include Reserve towns populations during census time. Peguis means "Profit By" in Ojibwa Language. Chief Peguis (aka John Smith) obviously profited from some sort of endeavor! He is the the same John Smith who was set aside Muskoday Reserve at Saskatchewan. He definitely is the John Smith who lived at Leech Lake Reservation. He died in 1922 at age 148. Some photos of chief Peguis are below. Look at his nose. It's disfigured. Chief Peguis lived at Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Montana and Minnesota. He has connections to Ojibwa Reservations at each location. He was considered an important leader among Montana Blackfeet Ojibwa's! He was born near Sault Ste. Marie in 1774 and died at Minnesota in 1922 at age 148.
