“Carry the Kettle” First Nation/Reserve signed Treaty 4 at Fort Walsh in 1877. As of 2014, Carry the Kettle First Nation has their Cypress Hills Land Claim in federal court.
The ancestors of the modern “Carry the Kettle” First Nation/Reserve signed adhesion to Treaty 4 at Fort Walsh on September 25, 1877. The three Assiniboine chiefs who signed the treaty 4 adhesion were Man Who Takes The Coat (Cuwiknaga Je Eyaku, in the Assiniboine/Nakoda language), Long Lodge (Teepee Hoksa), and Lean Man (Wica Hostaka).
Historically, First Nations bands/chiefs signed treaty in their tradational territories/homelands. One might allude to the fact that if Carry the Kettle was in their current traditional homelands/territory (south of Sintaluta, SK), they would have been present at the initial signing of treaty 4 in Fort Qu’Appelle in 1874. Or any of the other subsequent adhesions of 1875 and 1876 in the area of the prairies in treaty 4 or what is now known as southern Saskatchewan. As of 2014, Carry the Kettle First Nation has their Cypress Hills Land Claim in federal court.
