Beaverhouse First Nation is an Indigenous first nation located on the banks Kirkland Lake in the Misema River system.

After initially being excluded from the Treaty 9 agreement between Indigenous nations and Canada, the government of Canada officially recognized Beaverhouse First Nation in April 2022.

Nomenclature

The name comes from the Algonquin name of the Misema RiverMaaseema Qweesh whereby Queesh means the home of a beaver.[1]

Location

Beaverhouse First Nation is located on a peninsula the banks Kirkland Lake in the Misema River system and lacks easy road access.[1] Access is usually done by boat in the summer season and by snowmobile in the winter.[1][2]

History

Beaverhouse First Nation was excluded from the Treaty 9 agreement between other Indigenous nations and Canada, resulting in it being designated a "non-status" first nation,[1] until 2022[3] Historically, much of the land around where Beaverhouse First Nation people live was claimed by Timiskaming First Nation.[4]

Beaverhouse First Nation is a member of the Wabun Tribal Council.[3]

In May 2016, Chief Brown Martel criticized government minister David Zimmer for what she described as a failure of the Canadian government to provide land to the nation.[5]

In 2018, Beaverhouse First Nation Community submitted a claim to the Government of Ontario, asserting that it is a distinct First Nation and did not sign Treaty 9, or any other treaty.[6] The claim was supported by the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation regional association and the Wabun Tribal Council.[3] In April 2019, the government advised the nation that it will complete an assessment of the claim submission.[6] The Government of Canada officially recognized Beaverhouse as a First Nation as defined by Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 in April 2022.[7]

Leadership

Roy Meaniss was the chief in the 1980s, followed by Gloria McKenzie.[3]

Marcia Brown Martel (más tarde conocida como Sally Susan Mathias-Martel [ 3 ] ) se convirtió en jefa en 2011 [ 2 ] hasta al menos 2018 [ 8 ] y desde 2021 el jefe ha sido Wayne Wabie. [ 9 ]

Datos demográficos

La población era de aproximadamente 285 en 2017. [ 2 ]
