      --Chief Ahtahkakoop, August 21, 1876


    History:
    Mistawasis and Ahtahkakoop(bottom right) in Ottawa, 1883
    The name of this reserve originated from the first chief, who was also named Ahtahkakoop (Starblanket). Chief Ahtahkakoop signed Treaty Six in 1887 with a population of 185.

    Ahtahkakoop (also known as Sandy Lake or Hines' Mission) is one of the historic charter parishes of the Diocese of Saskatchewan, the congregation predating both Treaty 6 and the arrival of the first bishop, John McLean. Its Chief, John Ahtahkakoop (or 'Starblanket') and first priest, Rev. John Hines, were delegates at the first Synod of the Diocese.

    The village of 1,200 is nestled along the shores of Sandy Lake, surrounded by meadows, hills and lush parkland. This is the heart of what was once buffalo country, where the prairies rise up to meet the northern boreal forests.

    When settlers decimated the great buffalo herds that sustained the Plains Crees, these semi-nomadic people were forced to survive by farming often-inhospitable land. In 1877 they signed Treaty 6, giving up their vast hunting territory in exchange for a 67-square-mile reserve and $5 a year “per head.”

    Signing on behalf of the Crees was the legendary Chief Ahtahkakoop, whose name the community adopted as its own.

    The promised future of pastoral bliss never came. Crops failed; starvation and tuberculosis ravaged the community; Indian Affairs agents physically abused hungry Crees who asked for food.

    Through the hardship, one of the constants was the Ahenakew clan and its dominance over the community. An Ahenakew has been chief for 85 of the past 90 years.
