This Saulteaux Ojibwa Gambler First Nation community is located at extreme southwest Manitoba. Their real Reserve is located where Riding Mountain National Park is. Canada forced them and Ojibwa's from Keeseekoowenin, Rolling River, Valley River (Gambler is afilliated with them) and Waywayseecappo to leave the woodlands area which they did not take kindly to. White leaders have evil intentions. Concerning Gambler First Nation History, they were originally managed by Birtle Agency. They were listed with as Birdtail Creek, Gambler, Keeseekowenin and Rolling River Ojibwa's. Birtle Agency also managed the Cote, Keeseekoose, Key and Valley River Ojibwa's and Pheasant Rump, Red Ears and White Bear Ojibwa's as well as Oak River, Oak Lake and Turtle Mountain. 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. Gambler First Nation is a community of Riding Mountains Ojibwa Reserve. According to 2021's census the population of Gambler First Nation is 91. They have 31 dwellings with 31 lived in. Average household size is 2.9 persons per household which is below normal for Ojibwa communities. An estimated 0.0% of the population of Gambler First Nation is 70 years of age or older. First nation leaders must be attentive to that expectancy stat. Ojibwa Language has died out at Gambler First Nation. Saulteaux Ojibwa's of extreme southwest Manitoba are thought to have been from chief Okanese (the Little Bone) Ojibwa's. White historians are liars. Never do they refer to the Ojibwa Totemic System which governed Ojibwa People. Chief Gambler was their leader during Treaty 4 negotiations and was possibly put in power by Canada or not a real Ojibwa leader. Authentic Ojibwa leaders of those times, came from their military and police totem or the Ojibwa Totemic System. His name of Gambler, suggests he was a man who had money or could be bribed. It also indicates risk which means he was possibly a legitimate Ojibwa leader. A land surrender dating back to 1881 (probably their promised Riding Mountains Reserve), has caused friction between Gambler First Nation and Waywayseecappo. Both were a same Reserve until that illegal 1881 land surrender. Treaty 4 possibly established this Ojibwa Reserve we will name Riding Mountains Ojibwa Reserve. Ojibwa's of extreme southwest Manitoba and some of extreme southeast Saskatchewan, had to deal with Fort Ellice. It was located at southwest Manitoba. Ojibwa leaders considered 1 mile to be 1 league or 3 miles. Canada agreed to allot each family (probably each individual) 640 acres or 1 sq. mi. Gambler (also includes Valley River) had a population of 140 in 1881. That's 28 families which comes to 17,920 acres or 28.0 sq. mi. or 72.5 sq. km. Waywayseecappo had a population of 220. That's 44 families which comes to 28,160 acres or 44.0 sq. mi. or 114.0 sq. km. Sakimay (possibly Birdtail Sioux) had a population of 130. That's 26 families which comes to 16,640 acres or 26.0 sq. mi. or 67.3 sq. km. Total area of Riding Mountains Ojibwa Reserve was 98.0 sq. mi. or 253.8 sq. km. However, Ojibwa leaders considered 1 mile to be 1 league or 3 miles. Correct land area of Riding Mountains Ojibwa Reserve is 294.0 sq. mi. or 761.5 sq. km.
For some reason Canada had to coerce Ojibwa's from Riding Mountains to this Reserve. That's the "Confirmation" that Riding Mountain National Park is their real Reserve! It's land area is much larger than 294.0 sq. mi. or 761.5 sq. km. Why did Canada violate this Reserve? Because white leaders have evil intentions! Leaders of Gambler 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!
History of Gambler First Nation is very interesting. Chief The Gambler was grandson of John Tanner Jr. To learn about chief Gambler we must investigate John Tanner Jr. Tanner's Ojibwa name was Shaw-shaw-wa-ne-ba-se or Falcon. In 1789 or during 1774-1794's War, John Tanner's Ojibwa mother instructed her husband Manito O Gishig (Insect the Day or Insect the Sky), to kidnap 9 year Tanner from her ex husband John Tanner Sr. who was living at the Cincinnati, Ohio region. He settled his family and slaves on ceded Ojibwa land at Ohio. What probably brought John Tanner Sr. to the Cincinnati region in 1789 was construction of Fort Washington in the summer of 1789. Tanner reached Cincinnati in spring 1789 with his family and slaves. When captured by Manito O Gishig and his small group of fellow Ojibwa's, one of them made mention to Manito O Gishig that one of the Ojibwa's with them had tried to kill his little brother. Tanner named the Ojibwa who called him his little brother Kish-kau-ko. He was probably chief Peguis. In 1789, chief Peguis was 15 years old. He was born in 1774. Manito O Gishig was not the father of Kish-kau-ko. John Tanner Sr. was!
1774-1794's War was very much in progress in 1789. More so at Kentucky where Ojibwa leaders demanded that a large Ojibwa Reservation be created. American leaders refused to share land south of Ohio River. That kept the conflict on. John Tanner Sr. knew Kentucky was a dangerous location. Ojibwa leaders had yet to cede any of their Kentucky land. American leaders used the Cincinnati region to build Fort Washington then other forts to the north at Ohio where Ojibwa leaders ceded land in 1785. Per treaty agreements Ojibwa leaders allowed American leaders to build those forts. Authentic Ojibwa leaders signed treaty ceding much land at Ohio on January 21, 1785 at Fort McKintosh. General Harmar signed January 21, 1785's Treaty of Fort McKintosh that created a vast Ojibwa Reservation located at Ohio, Michigan and a part of Indiana where Fort Wayne is. In 1784, a vast Ojibwa Reservation was set aside at southwest New York State or the region from Niagara River east to near Syracuse. Ojibwa leaders were compelled to continue to send Ojibwa Soldiers out to fight white invaders. Their reason for doing so is unknown. Land south of Ohio River was possibly why Ojibwa leaders continued the war. Or American leaders rejected treaty agreements an attempted an invasion into what is now Indiana. American leaders refused to share land south of Ohio River. Ojibwa leaders demanded a vast Reservation south of Ohio River yet their demands were rejected. Civil War among Ojibwa People intensified after 1784. Ojibwa's who settled at the Reservations supported the United States or helped them fight their own people. All of southeast Michigan was set aside to be a part of 1785's Reservation land. Hostile American Soldiers were at a location they were not suppose to be at which was Fort Vincennes, Indiana in 1785. That land had yet to be ceded. Another hostile action carried out by American Soldiers in 1786 took place at south Ohio east of Cincinnati (Logans Raid - the land was ceded by 1785's treaty) in which 13 Ojibwa villages were destroyed. American leaders had to follow treaty agreements and allow them time to relocate to the Reservation to the north. Instead they broke treaty and destroyed the 13 villages and killed 11 Shawnee Ojibwa's. Then in 1791, American leaders became hostile again. South of Ohio River at Kentucky, Ojibwa Soldiers continued the 1774-1794 War. No treaty ceding land at Kentucky had been attempted that I know of and Ojibwa leaders definitely demanded a large Ojibwa Reservation be set aside at Kentucky. Ojibwa Soldiers had killed 1,000's of illegal white settlers at Kentucky since 1784. Supposedly that's why American Soldiers destroyed the 13 Ojibwa villages at south Ohio.
In 1790, General Harmar was sent to Fort Wayne, Indiana which was within the vast Ojibwa Reservation created in 1785. Americans were causing trouble at the region between Fort Wayne and Fort Vincennes, Indiana. General Harmar led 1,400 American Soldiers and over 1,000 Ojibwa Soldiers from the Reservation led by Blue Jacket (he was white) and Little Turtle. I suspect that they intended to force their way to Fort Vincennes. Ojibwa Soldiers were informed of their plans and sent a force of Ojibwa Soldiers to the Fort Wayne, Indiana region to halt their enemies west expansion. Nearly 500 of General Harmar's American Soldiers and Ojibwa Soldiers were killed and wounded in the battles fought at and near Fort Wayne, Indiana from October 7 to October 22, 1790. War intensified in early 1791. Big Bottom Massacre took place on January 2, 1791 on ceded land at south Ohio. If you read accounts of Big Bottom Massacre at wikipedia or other websites, be very cautious because they use deceit. They'll tell you the land had yet to be ceded. It was ceded by 1785's treaty. It was not 12 to 14 whites killed. It was between 12 and 14 innocent Ojibwa's who were killed. It was an act of retaliation. The Big Bottom Massacre took place 30 miles north of Ohio River. Then on January 10 and January 11, 1791, American's again retaliated by killing from 15 to 20 innocent Ojibwa's living on land ceded by 1785's treaty. Dunlap's Station Siege was not a battle yet a massacre of innocent Ojibwa's who sought safety at Dunlap's Station. General Harmar and Blue Jacket led over 500 American Soldiers and Ojibwa Soldiers to carry out an act of retaliation against a small group of Ojibwa's at Dunlap's Station.
Dunlap's Station was located well north of Ohio River on ceded Ojibwa land north of Cincinnati, Ohio. John Tanner Sr. brought his family to the Cincinnati region because it was ceded Ojibwa land. He didn't know, however, that his ex wife sent her husband and some other Ojibwa's to spy on him. Her son John Tanner Jr. was 9 years of age in 1789 and deeply missed by his Ojibwa mother. It was a "Child War" incident. It was vicious! In May 1791, American's were at a location they were not suppose to be at. Blackberry Campaign was another failed American attempt to reach Fort Vincennes. General Charles Scott led a force of 1,000 American Soldiers from Kentucky to southeast Indiana which was Ojibwa land. They did not destroy any Ojibwa villages because they were at a disadvantage and knew it. Their one shot musket guns were no match to Ojibwa Archery Units. However, American Soldiers were known to fight like Ojibwa's which means they used archery units also. Scott could have used Ohio River to reach Fort Vincennes yet for some reason directed his soldiers north towards Fort Wayne. Ojibwa Soldiers did patrol Ojibwa land. At Fort Wayne, about 2,000 Ojibwa Soldiers from the Reservation had been raised to support Scott's force of American Soldiers. However, they had no chance to join Scott's force because Ojibwa Soldiers drove them back to Kentucky. Ojibwa leaders were sending Ojibwa Soldiers from the Indiana region to reinforce Ojibwa Soldiers native to the Kentucky region who were fighting white invaders. Scott's force appears to have been instructed to establish a camp for an American Fort where Lafayette, Indiana is. Though the Blackberry Campaign failed, establishing a military camp at the Lafayette region became a goal. Another American Military Campaign to establish a military camp southwest of Fort Wayne adjacent to Wabash River later in 1791 also failed. General Wilkinson (he was with Scott's force during the Blackberry Campaign) and his force of over 500 American Soldiers, left Fort Washington (Cincinnati) and obviously reached Fort Wayne then was reinforced with 100's of Ojibwa Soldiers, if not over 2,000 Ojibwa Soldiers, from the Reservation, then sneaked their way southwest to near Logansport, Indiana. Their attempts to establish a military camp at that location failed. Ojibwa Soldiers forced them to retreat to Fort Wayne. Up to 50 of Wilkinson's force was either killed or wounded.
Cincinnati was near the war zone. However, Ojibwa leaders honored treaty and rarely attempted anything major at the Cincinnati region. As you know by now American leaders were the perpetrators. American leaders schemed for another military campaign in 1791 which became the deadliest battle of the 1774-1794 War. All they had to do was share land at Kentucky! Major-General Arthur St. Clair was put in command of 1,486 American Soldiers and 200 to 250 camp followers who we presume were teamsters and some women. At Fort Washington (Cincinnati) they proceed north towards Fort Wayne. With them was a force of over 1,000 Ojibwa Soldiers led by Blue Jacket, Little Turtle and Simon Girty (he was white). Ojibwa leaders had earlier been informed and though General St. Clair led his force north on ceded Ojibwa land, Ojibwa leaders knew what his intentions were. On November 4, 1791 a large force of Ojibwa Soldiers ambushed the force of General St. Clair. From accounts of the battle, it appears the American Soldiers St. Clair led, were not fmiliar with how Ojibwa Soldiers fought. Of the near 2,500 soldiers (it includes their Ojibwa allies) and civilians St. Clair led, about 1,000 or over 1,000 were killed or wounded. American leaders were extremely disappointed at their 1791 failures to establish a fort at Lafayette or Logansport. General St. Clair's battlefield became a location where American leaders schemed to establish a new fort at. In October 1791 American leaders built Fort Jefferson. It was located on ceded Ojibwa land at Ohio well south of the location of St. Clair's Massacre where Fort Recovery was built in 1793. Ojibwa leaders followed treaty agreements and allowed the forts to be constructed. Ojibwa leaders knew by then (October 1791) that American leaders were preparing to invade Indiana which was Ojibwa land. Objective of American leaders was to establish American Forts from Fort Wayne to Fort Vincennes.
Ojibwa leaders could have had the forts destroyed yet they honored treaty agreements. Ojibwa's who lived at the vast Ojibwa Reservation created by 1785's Treaty, continued to support American's. They had no choice. Losing their Reservation was not acceptable. Later they became extremely enraged after American leaders illegally commenced to steal their Reservation. It caused the vicious War of 1812. After their 1791 failures, American leaders put General "Mad" Anthony Wayne in charge of their military. American leaders sent negotiators to Ojibwa leaders to negotiate about ceding land at what is now Indiana yet Ojibwa leaders continued to demand a large Ojibwa Reservation at Kentucky. American leaders refused to share land south of Ohio River. All the while American leaders were drafting Ojibwa men from the Reservations created in 1784 and 1785 in to their military. Ojibwa leaders did not want to fight other Ojibwa's and white leaders knew that. One of their more important objectives was causing civil unrest among Ojibwa People. On August 20, 1794, a force of 4,300 American Soldiers including their Ojibwa allies battled a large force of Ojibwa Soldiers at the Ojibwa Reservation created in 1785. It don't make sense! What we know deals with Indiana and Kentucky! American leaders schemed to establish American Forts from Fort Wayne to Fort Vincennes. Either the Battle of Fallen Timbers was fought at Fort Recovery or at some location at Indiana. It was not fought at the Ojibwa Reservation created by 1785's Treaty. The Battle of Fort Recovery was fought on June 30, 1794. That's three weeks before the "so called Battle of Fallen Timbers." Fort Recovery was located south of the Ojibwa Reservation created by 1785's Treaty.
John Tanner Jr. was caught up in that vicious conflict. If he had stayed at the Cincinnati region his life would have been very different and definitely much shorter. Before his Ojibwa mother had him returned to her, he dealt with extreme hostility from Ojibwa's. Manito O Gishig wanted nothing to do with him. His brother was six years older and remembered him very well. John Tanner was ashamed of his Ojibwa blood and tried to conceal his relationship to his older brother (Kish-kau-ko) who was chief Peguis. On the contrary, chief Peguis became an Ojibwa leader. Both chief Peguis and his little brother John Tanner, lived among Ojibwa Traitors who always kept themselves at or near European Forts and Trade Posts. Addictions to alcohol and opium made them lawless. Fear of Ojibwa's was their principle concern. Trapping was extremely dangerous. John Tanner Jr. also carried out his own "Child War." He described it in his 19th century book. During the War of 1812, Tanner joined with his older brother chief Peguis and his Ojibwa Traitors and helped invading whites establish Red River Colony. After he divorced his first wife named Mis-kwa-bun-o-kwa he married another Ojibwa woman named Ther-e-zia (unusal Ojibwa name with an r sound that could indicate a relationship with the Chipewyan) he eventually made for the Sault Ste. Marie region to try and contact his family. Tanner and his wife Therezia, settled their family on Mackinac Island where they resided between 1818 and 1822. Tanner then moved back to Manitoba. His first wife was possibly a mixed blood with strong connections to European Trade Posts. Tanner knew of his first wives powerful connections yet he tried to take his children from her. It led to a vicious "Child War." After his war with his ex wife, the injured Tanner returned to Mackinac Island in 1827. At Mackinac Island he became a sought after interpreter. His book was published in 1830. In 1828, Tanner and his wife Ther-e-zia moved to Sault Ste. Marie. He found employment as an interpreter for the well known Henry R. Schoolcraft. However, a serious fued between Tanner and Schoolcraft and a fellow named Bingham, led to accusations that Tanner was using contradiction. From 1833 to 1846, Tanner kept himself on the edge of Sault Ste. Marie and made his living. His fued with Schoolcraft never subsided. In 1846 his home was destroyed and supposedly days later he disappeared. He probably hit the water because Henry R. Schoolcrafts younger brother James Schoolcraft had been murdered at that time. It's thought that Tanners body was found in a bog a few years later. Since they can't positively prove it was the body of John Tanner Jr. it indicates he lived on. In fact, John Tanner may have been chief Peguis. Read Tanner's book. Chief Bagwais is chief Peguis. We know chief Peguis was a murderer. He didn't like being called Cut Nose. Chief Peguis moved to Montana for a while. He probably fled back to Canada during 1876-1877's Montana Ojibwa War. He became known as John Smith at Canada. Muskoday First Nation Reserve was set aside for him. John Tanner Jr. (John Smith) eventually moved to Leech Lake Reservation at north Minnesota. He died there in 1922 at age 148. Much of the information in his 19th century book was probably fabricated by Edwin James who transcribed Tanner's life among Ojibwa People for his book which was published in 1830.
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!
