Founding Families


Summary of the data:

The list below contains the names of Red Sky Métis Independent Nation's™ (RSMIN) founding families who were the ‘half-breeds’ recognized by the crown as beneficiaries and annuitants under the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850, in concurrence with the First Nation peoples. The descendants of these founding families make up the citizens of RSMIN today. Robinson’s Report regarding treaty negotiations cites eighty-four half-breeds residing in the Lake Superior region. The early pay lists (between 1850 and 1855), as recorded in the Hudson’s Bay Company and Indian Affairs Records, however, cite anywhere between 42 and 43 families or between 147 and 159 people residing in Fort William and Michipicoten respectively. An additional 4 families and 20 people are cited as residing in the Fort Nipigon and Long Lake regions.
