Gordon First Nation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gordon First Nation The George Gordon First Nation is located near the village of Punnichy, Saskatchewan, in Canada. The First Nation has a population of 2,774 people, 1,060 of whom live on-reserve and 1,714 who live off-reserve. Elected Chief Glen Pratt leads the First Nation. Their territory is located on the Gordon 86 reserve, as arranged by Treaty 4. ==History==
In 1874, Treaty 4 was established between Queen Victoria and the Cree and Saulteaux First Nations. On September 15 of the same year, ''Kaneonuskatew'' (or, in his English name of George Gordon) was among the first of the Indigenous leaders to make the agreement, signing as Chief of the George Gordon First Nation.〔("George Gordon First Nation" ), ''The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan''〕 By 1884, half of the families belonging to the nation were farming, a development which had commenced in 1876, and would continue for many years.〔 Although both George Gordon and his son, Moses Gordon, were originally hereditary chiefs, the people have since adopted the practice of democratically voting their chiefs and councillors into office.〔("Gordon First Nation" website ).〕 From 1889 to 1996, George Gordon First Nation was the location of the longest-running residential school in Canada. Attendance there devastated many members of the nation-state as children because of various forms of abuse.〔("Saskatchewan First Nation eyes wind power business to help future generations" ), ''Winnipeg Free Press''〕 The schools have been proven to have allowed abuse of the children. The federal government has paid compensation and made apologies, but much damage was done.〔("School abuse victims getting $1.9B" ). From CBCNews.〕〔("PM cites 'sad chapter' in apology for residential schools" ), CBC News, 11 June 2008〕 The residential schools created a dark chapter in Canadian history. On the First Nation, the Gordon Recovery and Wellness Centre provides services and support to the victims of the abuse that occurred at too many schools.〔("Recovery and Wellness" ), Gordon First Nation website〕
