Little Pine First Nation
The Little Pine First Nation (Cree: ᒥᓇᐦᐃᑯᓯᕽ minahikosihk) is a Plains Cree First Nations band government in Saskatchewan, Canada. Their reserves include:
Little Pine First Nation (LPFN) is located at the foot of Bluehill and rests along the shores of the Battle River. According to the Little Pine Official Page, "Bluehill is a symbol of home for our people"
As of 2020, the total population of the Little Pine Reserve(s) is 2,175 people. Of those 2,175, there are 973 people on reserve and 1,202 people off reserve.
As of March 2022, the total registered population has increased to 2,200 people, with 979 registered people on the Little Pine reserve itself, 88 people registered on other reserves, and 1,133 people registered off reserve.
The total amount of reserves, settlements and villages consists of 64,161 acres of land.
According to 2016 Census data, the majority of the population in the Little Pine Reserve speak indigenous languages, with 52.1% of the population stating that they have knowledge of an indigenous language. As for education the majority of individuals 15 or over have no degree, certificate, or diploma or have had a trade/apprenticeship or any non-university certificate. In the same year, the Census reported its Community Well-Being index as at 50 of 100, compared to 58.4 for the average First Nations community and 77.5 for the average non-Indigenous community. For income, the average total income calculated for individuals in the reserve is $18,302. The labor force participation rate is 39.1%, and the unemployment rate is 33.3%. Most of the work is being done in the manufacturing, health, and education fields. When it comes to housing and dwelling characteristics, the majority of households are one, two, or non-family private households. The median household income is $28,608. According to the Census, there are 220 total private dwellings in the Little Pine 116 reserve alone.
The year of the Cypress Hills Massacre in 1873, the most famous and influential of the Plains Chiefs Mistahimaskwa, also known as "Big Bear" (c.1825-1888), had the idea to unite all the Cree bands. He was half Ojibwa, half Cree, and led the largest band of Cree that lived on the Plains at that particular time, which was about 2,000 people. He advocated for pan-Amerindianism, which urged all these native bands in the region to unite against white settlement.
In addition, Big Bear stated did not like the terms of Treaty 6, especially the provision stating that Canadian law would become the law of the land. He thought that the treaty would force his people to give up their autonomy. Despite his objections, he was eventually forced to sign the treaty in 1882 in Fort Walsh in order to get rations for his people. By then, only having 247 followers, he moved his band to a remote reserve at Fort Pitt in the north.
