Born out of a meticulous, well-researched historical and current traditional land-use study led by Cega K'inna Nakoda Oyáté (Carry the Kettle Nakoda First Nation), Owóknage is the first book to tell the definitive, comprehensive story of the Nakoda people (formerly known as the Assiniboine), in their own words. From pre-contact to current-day life, from thriving on the Great Plains to forced removal from their traditional, sacred lands in the Cypress Hills via a Canadian "Trail of Tears" starvation march to where they now currently reside south of Sintaluta, Saskatchewan, this is their story of resilience and resurgence. Cega K'inna Nakoda Oyáté (Carry The Kettle Nakoda First Nation) is based south of Sintaluta, Saskatchewan, though the Nation's traditional home territory is the western end of the Cypress Hills. The Chiefs of the Nakoda Nation--Cuwiknaga Je Eyaku (Man Who Takes The Coat), Teepee Hoksa (Long Lodge), and Wica Hostake (Lean Man)--signed adhesion to Treaty 4 at Fort Walsh on September 25, 1877. Fast Facts Based on a comprehensive traditional and current land-use study and history of the Carry The Kettle First Nation, combining oral history from Nation Elders and historical/anthropological research The destruction of the bison on the Canadian plains, disease, and Canada's various damaging colonial policies brought profound changes and hardships to the Nakoda; this book chronicles the changes they faced and illustrates their endurance throughout history. Most of the victims of the Cypress Hill Massacre were ancestors of the Carry The Kettle Nakoda First Nation, and many were forced out of their traditional lands on a Canadian Trail of Tears in 1882-83. The Nation has won land settlement claims in the past, and there are several still underway. This book aids understanding in their historical land use, highlights the mistreatment they have endured, and will assist in future consultation with the Nation about development on their traditional lands"--
