Province supports Montreal Lake Cree Nation in establishing Molanosa as reserve land
The Government of Saskatchewan has declared support for the Montreal Lake Cree Nation (MLCN) regarding their request to add Molanosa as part of their reserve land.
Molanosa is located within their traditional territories and near their existing community along Montreal Lake.
“Molanosa is an acronym for Montreal Lake Northern Saskatchewan, and in Woodland Cree, we call it Kskahikanisihk,” said Joyce Naytowhow-McLeod, Montreal Lake Cree Nation Chief. “This is home to the original site of the 1889 Treaty 6 Adhesion of wich our nation is a signatory, the final resting place for members of Montreal Lake Cree Nation, a site for land-based education for our youth, and the place where we gather every year to celebrate and honour Woodland Cree culture during Molanosa Cultural Days.”
Naytowhow-McLeod said the historical, cultural and spiritual significance of the area is of utmost importance to MLCN.
