This is NOT an exhaustive list of everyone who was present at the Grand Council of 1892, but is a list of persons present who had both a listed name and an accompanying "Indian name" listed in the minutes. Most of the names are in either Michif or Ojibwe. No translations are provided and the spellings are probably not entirely accurate.

Hi there,
You have an impressive amount of historical information here. Thank you.
I am an artist here I Regina, Saskatchewan.
My ancestors and relatives are the Poitra or Poitras family Modeste Poitra is my Great Grandfather. His grandson Gregoire was my Grandfather who married Celina Parisien. I was wondering how Modeste was related to Henri Poitra? Are they the same family lineage. I'm working on a series of 28 Métis Spirit Animal Paintings for an eventual exhibition once the pandemic passes. I want to highlight some ancestors knowledge and history within my art descriptions. I know from this site that the Poitra's were known as the Marten Clan. I would love if you could help me. Thanks so much 🙏

My Great Grandfather was on the council. I find his name spelled as Hernis, Hermas,Herman. Nice to find little bits of history. Also descendant of Chief Wilkie. I always browse for information.
