Mosquito-Grizzly Bear's Head-Lean Man

Mosquito-Grizzly Bear's Head-Lean Man

Mosquito-Grizzly Bear's Head, Lean Man is the name of a First Nations community in Saskatchewan. It is home to a population of about 300.

Origin of the Name & the Constitution of the Community

Circa 1890-8, the tribal chief "Misketo" signed Treaty 6, formally incorporating three tribes that had settled in the area as one reservation (as then legally defined in the British Empire of the Dominion of Canada):[1]

  • Mosquito Band #109
  • the Lean Man Band #111
  • the Grizzly Bear’s Head Band #110

Thus, the formal English name now found on maps attempts to incorporate all three communities' names, sometimes with the inconsistent use of either hyphens or commas (or both) between them.
