This is another Ojibwa community located just east of Lake Winnipeg. Bloodvein First Nation is located directly east of Black Bear Island which is located in the waters of south Lake Winnipeg. Bloodvein First Nation is one of several Misipawistik Ojibwa Reserve communities, located in an isolated region of southeast Manitoba. Since 2009, a road (Rice River Road) connects Bloodvein to extreme south Manitoba. Bloodvein First Nation population is 640 according to 2021's census. They have 202 dwellings with 193 lived in. Average household size is 3.3 persons per household. An estimated 1.6% of the population is 70 years of age or older. First Nation leaders must be attentive to the expectancy stat. Around 30 (the expectancy stat) people speak Ojibwa at Bloodvein First Nation. In 2016, 230 people spoke Ojibwa Language at Bloodvein First Nation. We'll identify them as northern Ojibwa's HBC (Hudson Bay Company) Staff named "Mithquagomow Ojibwa's." During the 18th century (a vicious war was going during those times) HBC Staff named northern Ojibwa's after waterways or possible leaders or possibly totem names. HBC included these northern Ojibwa Names: Shumataway; Nameu-Sepee; Uinescaw-Sepee; Wapus; Christianux; Ougibowy; Mithquagomow and Mistehay Sakehagen. 'Mithqua'gamow defines red which is 'Mis-kwa' in Ojibwa Language. Word for blood in Ojibwa Language is "Mis-kwi." It's origins are at Bloodvein River. Ojibwa suffix of "Go-mo" is similar to other Ojibwa Suffixes like "Ga-mig" which is added to ends of words to represent a place and building. Translation of "Mith-qua-go-mow" is "Red Place." The book I found this information at defines "Mith-qua-go-mow" as "Red or Bloody River." HBC Staff changed the name Ojibwa's gave the location from Red River to Bloodvein River. Ojibwa's always named a waterway looking red in color Red River, Red Lake, ect. HBC Staff refused to accept the name Red River because there was already a Red River at Lake Winnipegs south. Leaders of Bloodvein First Nation must agree with all other Ojibwa First Nation leaders at Manitoba, to petition Canada to create a vast Ojibwa Reserve 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!
We'll identify all northern Ojibwa's southwest of Sha Man-to Waag Ojibwa's as "Mis-kwa Si-peague." It means "Red River People." These Ojibwa's were hostile to whites. From Bloodvein to it's source at Knox Lake, Ontario their villages were directed to scenes of beauty. History of Bloodvein First Nation deals with Ojibwa Traitors, whites and the Inuit. HBC (Hudson Bay Company) employed the idiotic foolish Ojibwa Traitors. Idiotic Ojibwa Traitors were becoming troublesome after 1795. After 1774-1794's War, Ojibwa leaders allowed whites to establish trade posts at south Manitoba per treaty agreements. Foolish Ojibwa's were lured to those forts by alcohol and drugs (opium) after they were built. It's probable the massacre took place during the War of 1812. In Ojibwa Language, they pronounce this community as "Mis-skwii Sip-pi." Translated it means Blood River. At HBC or Hudson Bay Company, they changed it's name to Blood Vein. Ojibwa Soldiers had a custom of drinking the blood of their enemies.
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!
