The Keeseekoose First Nation (Ojibwe: Giizhigoons Anishinaabeg) is a Saulteaux band government located in Kamsack, Saskatchewan.[1] The band is named for Chief Kiishikouse (kîšîkôns, Giizhigoons, "little sky"), who signed an adhesion to Treaty 4 at Swan Lake, Manitoba in 1875. Flooding on the band's Manitoba reserve forced a relocation to the band's current location, adjacent to the Cote First Nation reserve. Those who stayed in Manitoba are today known as the Pine Creek First Nation.[2]
The current population is approximately 2750 people, with the majority living abroad and in urban centers across Canada.
Keeseekoose is well known for producing some of the best talent in junior and senior hockey. One notable hockey player that excelled in hockey between 1950 and 1960 was Leonard Ketchemonia, who has earned many accolades throughout his career. In golf, Ashley Straightnose is a legend in Saskatchewan and in other parts of western Canada.
