Pasqua First Nation was surveyed in 1876, two years after the signing of Treaty #4, our first Chief, was Chief Pasqua who was a major negotiator and signatory to our Treaty. • Pasqua First Nation original territory offered timber, agricultural, and hay lands, and in later years it’s proximity to both the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline and Grand Trunk Pacific Branch lines offered easy access to markets for agricultural produce. • Initially the reserve encompassed and area of 60.2 square miles. According to Government Agent for Treaty Four, Angus McKay, the fact that the Reserve bordered on a lake with ample waterfowl and fish stocks, which the Indians subsisted on for much of the summer months, was an advantage.  • However, as a result of land surrenders and expropriation by the Federal Government of Canada there has been a reduction in the land base to an area of approximately 36 square miles. The history of the Pasqua First Nation is common to the majority of Indian bands in the province.
