About the Nation:
"Cau
ah ha cha pew (Making Ready the Bow) was the first Chief of this Band, who
signed the original treaty, on September 15, 1874 in Qu'Appelle. Upon his death
his son, Peepeekisis (Sparrow Hawk), took over the role as Chief. This Band left
the Cypress Hills and eventually settled in the File Hills in 1884. At this time
there was a population of approximately 142 followers. Today there is a
population of 2466 with 758 residing on the reserve. Peepeekisis is part of the
Treaty 4 territory along with 35 other Bands from Saskatchewan, Alberta and
Manitoba." - from:
