This Ojibway Reserve is thought to be a territory which is incorrect. In every detail Akaitcho Ojibway Reserve is an Ojibway Reserve. Only reason for telling of this vast Reserve being a territory is so white leaders can steal land from this Ojibway Reserve. We will not accept any illegal Reserve land cessions! This Chip-ah-wan or Chipewyan Reserve (it's not a territory) is located primarily in Northwest Territories yet is also partially in northeastern Alberta and Nunavut. Akaitcho Reserve covers 480,000 sq. km. or 185,329 sq. mi. Population of Akaitcho Reserve is 5,016. Samuel Hearne described the location between Kasba Lake and Great Slave Lake as being a sort of paradise. During the 1770's Hearne visited the region southeast of Great Slave Lake and was surprised to find native Ojibway's living very well. An abundance of food kept them feeling positive. Much fish, caribou, other wild game allowed for a vast population to exist between Ennadai Lake and Great Slave Lake. Hearne's descriptions tell of an Ojibway population that possibly exceeded 100,000 between Ennadai Lake and Great Slave Lake. Population was much lower east of Kasba Lake as a result of a lack of trees. West of Kasba Lake the population was much higher. Ojibway Soldiers were waging war against invading Eskimo's who were brought to North America by whites to fight for them. Ojibway People named both the Inuit and whites "Ishgimoag" which means "Mystery People." It's not a derogatory name. Ojibway People were first naming whites 'Ishgimoag' long before 1492. Prophesy told them about an evil people. Since they were not 100% convinced who they were they took to naming them 'Ishgimoag.' They did likewise to Inuit People. After stopping white ships and searching them they found an unknown Asian People they took to naming 'Ishgimoag.' They didn't know who they were and where they originated!
Below is a list of Akaitcho Reserve settlements and a map of Akaitcho Reserve. Chipewyan People live in all of Nunavut. Their leaders are ignoring Ojibway land in Nunavut. Instead their concentration is on Treaty 8 land. They are also not united. They are allowing individual communities to act on their own. We know they are Ojibway and will not accept any agreement that takes land from Akaitcho Reserve. We are also claiming land in Nunavut that extends to Chesterfield Inlet, Rankin Inlet and Arviat! Reading old 19th century books has been very helpful in learning exactly who Athabascan People are. According to 1832's Edinburgh Encyclopedia, Athabascan People are Algonquin. To be specific, they are Lenni Lenape who are really Ojibway. Below is an excerpt from 1832's Edinburgh Encyclopedia. Those old 19th century books, especially before 1850, are far more reliable than later books written about Native Americans. Lenni Lenape are also known as Delaware's. They originally lived out west where Missouri River probably commences in Montana. An event happened which forced them to migrate east to Atlantic Oceans Coastline. That was an invasion of whites. As mentioned, Lenni Lenape people are really Ojibway. Delaware People spoke Ojibway. We know that from 19th century Ojibway authors and white authors. These Ojibway's forced their way up to Beaufort Sea from a location near Lake Superior. They were sent there to reinforce Ojibway People native to that region or along Beaufort Sea's southern coast and around Hudson Bay's north coast. Whites were bringing many Eskimo People to McKenzie River's Delta and east to Hudson Bay, to fight Ojibway People for control of Northwest Passage. Some Ojibway's were lured to HBC trade posts to trade. They became traitors. HBC staff commenced to calling them Beaver Indians as a result of their favorite trade item being beaver pelts. They also named them Keskatchewan Indians. However, they are better known as Cree. They have a few First Nations in Alberta and British Columbia. There are no Cree First Nations in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Labrador. Ojibway Soldiers (among them were Chipewyan's) drove them west to Alberta and British Columbia. Their (Dehcho or Hare, Sahtu, North Slavey and South Slavey, Chipewyan, Copper and Dogrib) population is around 40,000. They all must be considered Chipewyan. Gwich'in People must also be included as Chipewyan. We do not recognize Salt River and Smith's Landing as being independent. They refused to act as a united people. Therefore, we consider that part of Akaitcho Reserve located in Alberta, as yet a part of Akaitcho Reserve. We also consider Wood Buffalo National Park to be within Akaitcho Reserve. Chief Big Bear instructed many of his Ojibway Soldiers to find as many buffalo as they could in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan, to bring them far north to make certain they survived. Chipewyan leaders must keep all of Akaitcho Reserve. They must not cede any of their land. If they do and it leaves them with less than 259,000 sq. km. or 100,000 sq. miles and is not in compact form, we will make certain those Chipewyan leaders responsible, have no afterlife!
