HONOURING OUR TREATY SIGNATORIES: MISKO GINEW

Misko Ginew, also known as Henry Prince or Red Eagle, was a respected Saulteaux Chief of the St. Peter’s Band, now Peguis First Nation, and one of the original signatories of Treaty No. 1 in 1871.

Born around 1819 and raised in both Anishinaabe and Christian traditions, Misko Ginew became an influential leader during a time of major political and social change throughout the Red River region. Following the passing of his father, Chief Peguis, he carried forward a strong legacy of leadership and advocacy for his people.

During the Treaty negotiations at Lower Fort Garry, Misko Ginew advocated for protections and supports intended to secure the future well-being of his community and future generations. He later continued to speak out when promises made by the Crown were not fully delivered.

His leadership, diplomacy, and commitment to his people remain an important part of Treaty One history and continue to be honoured through the enduring strength and resilience of Peguis First Nation.
