| Historical note | The Muskoday First Nation is located roughly 12 kilometres southeast of the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The First Nation was known until the 1970s as the John Smith First Nation. The Nation has one reserve (Muskoday No. 99) that has an area of approximately 97 square kilometres. Chief Smith signed onto Treaty Six at Fort Carlton in 1876 making the settlement legally an Indian reserve. The reserve and First Nation was initially named after their Chief John Smith, who was a brother of Chief James Smith, the founder of the James Smith First Nation. Unlike many other Cree Nations in the area, in the 19th and 20th century the reserve was almost entirely Anglican, with no Roman Catholic influence. Traditional spirituality and practices remained strong however. During the 1970s when the name of the First Nation was changed, a highway was completed through the reserve that linked the town of Birch Hills with Prince Albert. The Muskoday Bridge was then built over the South Saskatchewan River, which divides the reserve lands roughly in half. | |
