The Pas & Opaskwayak Cree Nation

At A Glance

 Our Roots

For more than 300 years the junction of the Pasquia and Saskatchewan Rivers has been an important meeting place of the Cree and European cultures.  The native populations have occupied the area as early as 3000 BC.  This area was a traditional gathering place of the Cree who met here each summer to hunt, fish, socialize and practice the ceremonial life.  Hudson Bay employee, Henry Kelsey’s arrival at this historic confluence in the summer of 1690 ushered in a wave of European explorers and traders who would come seeking fortune and adventure. The Pas’ situation on the junctions of the Saskatchewan and Pasquia River made it a strategic location for a trade centre between native populations and the Europeans.

The town itself became incorporated in 1912.  Its name resulted from a corruption of the original “W Passkwayaw” for the site meaning “where the river narrows.”  From the original Cree, the name gradually evolved into Opasquia, then Pasquia , then Le Pas and finally, The Pas.

 On the north shore of the Saskatchewan River lies the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, home of more than 2000 people of Cree heritage.  The Opaskwayak Cree Nation, is one of the most affluent and progressive native populations in our country.

 Gateway to the North

Today, we are still Manitoba’s true gateway to the north.  Located 630 km north of Winnipeg of PTH #10, the region is comprised of 3 distinct communities: The Town of The Pas, the Opaskwayak Cree Nation and the Rural Municipality of Kelsey.  Together, The Pas and its surrounding area comprise a population of more than 15,000 people.  The communities are an important link in an extensive network of highways, railways, airports and telecommunications.  The Pas and Area enjoys daily jet service via Bear Skin Airlines and Calm Air to Winnipeg, Flin Flon and Thompson.  Chartered passenger air service is also available from Grace Lake Airfield.  Rail service is provided by Via Rail connecting the south with Manitoba’s northern communities including the Port of Churchill.

 Explore The Pas

There are many things to do and see in The Pas and its surrounding area.  The rural atmosphere of The Pas and OCN is a pleasant experience when connected with the urban excitement which makes us an ideal base for exploration.

Whatever your sport or recreation preference, you’re almost certain to find an outlet for it in our communities. We are home to a wide range of facilities including two indoor arenas, curling rink, 9 hole golf course, indoor pool and several ball diamonds, playgrounds and tennis courts.  In total there are more than 60 sport and recreation clubs in our communities.  The Pas and OCN accommodate year-around tournaments, competitions and special events including The Northern Manitoba Trappers Festival, Opasquia Agricultural Fair and Exhibition and the Opaskwayak Indian Days.  Our facilities have accommodated Junior A and minor hockey championships, curling bonspiels, slow-pitch tournaments, snowmobile poker derby and the annual Bill Bannock Snowshoe Classic.

 Visitors can enjoy the spectacular Clearwater Lake, one of only three “true blue” lakes in the world.  Clearwater Recreation Center offers kilometers of groomed trails for x-country skiing and modern ski chalet equipped with a sauna and wood burning fireplace.  The area abounds with a wide variety of game and fish, and boasts a large number of drive-in and fly-in fishing and hunting camps.  Moose Park, located 5 km north of the OCN along the Saskatchewan River is a great spot for fishing and family gatherings.

 The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation are home to more than 200 retail outlets, which can provide products and services for every need.  We also operate two shopping malls—the Uptown Mall located in The Pas’ main shopping district, and the Otineka Mall located on the Opaskwayak Cree Nation.

Northern Hospitality and Spirit

The Pas and OCN are rich in human and natural resources.  Over time, we have continued to attract a wide variety of people for an even greater variety of purposes.  This tradition of attracting people will continue because of the unique combination of culture, heritage, history and northern hospitality.

 OUR HOSTING EXPERIENCE

The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation can boast an extremely high level of volunteerism.    Each year, our communities play host to three major festivals as well as a number of special events and tournaments.  We have held a number of large regional and provincial functions.  The following is a list of the major events we have hosted in the past few years in The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation:

 The 2002 MTS Winter Games with 1,600 athletes and 2,000 volunteers was the biggest test for the communities.  The Pas and OCN passed with flying colors hosting a great Winter Games.  The weather was a little cold, but other than that the games went perfectly.  There were all sorts of indoor and outdoor events.

 The Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival is Manitoba’s oldest winter festival, running since 1947.  Each year, the board of 25 volunteers coordinates a host of activities, which involves literally thousands of volunteers.  Events range from the World Championship Dog races to the King and Queen Trapper events, social functions and many activities for children.  IN 1996, the Northern Manitoba’s Trappers celebrated its 50th anniversary of showcasing Northern Manitoba’s culture, history and traditions.

 The Opaskwayak Indian Days, which feature a 60 mile canoe race, and the Agricultural Fair and Exhibition are two summer events which again take a tremendous amount of dedication, volunteerism and organizational skill to stage each year.

The Pas also hosts The Pas Music and Fine Arts Festival annually, highlighting our community’s artistic talents before professional adjudicators.  The experience gained in staging these events alone offer enough to successfully stage the M.S.O.S. Summer Games.

 The Pas hosted the 2000 Provincial Junior Curling Championship in January 2000.  The planning committee worked very hard to get this organized and The Pas hosted another successful event.

 In the summer of 1999 the Opaskwayak Cree Nation successfully hosted the first ever Manitoba Indian Summer Games.  Manitoba’s aboriginal community gathered in The Pas for a week of sporting events and by all accounts OCN did a terrific job of running the games and showcasing our communities. 

 In 1998, The Pas and OCN were the host communities for the Norman Regional Winter Games leading up to the Manitoba Winter Games in Gimli.  The Norman Games went off like clockwork with very few problems along the way. It was a good test run for The Pas to submit a bid to host the 2008 MSOS games.

 In 1999 and in 1998 Margaret Barbour Collegiate held the Zone Track and Field Championships with well over 350 athletes taking part and many more volunteers to ensure a successful event.

 In the winter of 1994, The Pas Rotary Club held the first Bill Bannock Classic Fishing Derby at Clearwater Lake which attracted over 800 participants and raised over $20,000 for the club.  Since 1994 the Rotary Club has successfully held this event which has attracted as many as 1200 participants.  The event attracts many tourists from around Manitoba and Saskatchewan and helps to raise dollars for community projects.  The Classic is a first class event, held annually.

 Since 1995, the Opaskwayak Cree Nation and the Swampy Cree Tribal Council have hosted POW WOW’S which attract competitors and tourists from across North America.

 The OCN’s Joe A. Ross School hosted the Provincial A Basketball Championships in 1998.  This was the first time a provincial basketball championship had been held on a First Nation.

The 1997, The Opaskwayak Cree Nation hosted the Cree Nation Gathering

which was a gathering of Cree people from throughout North America to discuss common concerns and celebrate their culture.  The event was a success and shows that the OCN and The Pas area can host events of great magnitude such as the 2008 Summer Games.

 The Pas Rotary Club have proven their hosting skills by hosting The Musical Ride in 2004 and then in 2005 they hosted the “Snowbirds” with a viewing audience of over 3000.

 The number and variety of events held in The Pas in the last few years is impressive and shows that The Pas easily has the ability to host the Manitoba Society of Senior Games.  To add to the list are the following:

 

 The Pas hosts a number of events each year including play downs in Hockey, men’s and ladies curling bonspiels, the Kids of Steel Triathlon, Trappers Triathlon and many of other events.

 The host committee is confident that there is an abundance of volunteers and skills in our community to operate the “best ever” MSOS Games.

THINGS TO SEE & DO WHILE IN THE PAS AND AREA

The Sam Waller Museum

 The Sam Waller Museum, situated on the corner of 3rd Street and Fisher Avenue, was constructed in 1916. Formerly The Pas Community Building and Courthouse., it served as a centerpiece for the burgeoning community.  This Provincially designated historic building remains an important focal point for the community as the home of our Museum.  Visitors can view the original jail cells and learn about the building’s interesting history as the northern judicial center and meeting place for a variety of social activities through the years.

 The Sam Waller Museum evolved out of a vision and passion of a naturalist and avid lifelong collector.  Sam’s huge collection of animal specimens, birds and all manner of objects from the past became the foundation of the “Little Northern Museum”. Sam referred to it as his “clutter-torium”.  Today, visitors are treated to a unique museum experience offering a variety of historical displays mixed with the eclectic and intriguing collections of Sam Waller such as a two-headed calf and dressed fleas!  Permanent exhibits portray the rich and diverse history of The Pas, reflecting the cultural influences and industrial development that shaped the town as a regional centre and the gateway to the north.

The Pas Regional Library

 

The Pas Regional Library is housed in the building originally constructed in 1929 as the town’s Powerhouse. Today the modern library is your one-stop-shop for information and resources.

 

The Lido Theatre

  

The Lido Theatre has been serving The Pas  for over 70 years and is  one of Canada’s oldest atmospheric theatres, built in the 1930’s.

 

 

The Walking Path

Enjoy our 9.5 kilometer walking path.  This project, initiated by The Pas Rotary Club and The Kinsmen Club of The Pas, quickly gained public approval and has turned into a community project.. This historic path touches all areas of our community and extends from the riverside to residential areas and past commercial sites of interest.  The walkway is a combination of asphalt as well as  town sidewalks.

  

Opaskwayak Cree Nation

 The Opaskwayak Cree Nation  is a Swampy Cree community of about 3,000 people.

 

OCN is located across the Saskatchewan River from the town of The Pas where the Carrot and Pasquia Rivers meet.  The site was a traditional gathering place of the Cree who met here every summer to hunt, fish and socialize.  To day OCN is home of the Otineka Shopping Mall, the Gordon Lathlin Memorial Center, home of the OCN Blizzards Junior A hockey club, the beautiful Kikiwak Inn and the Aseneskak Casino.

  Rural Municipality of Kelsey - Wanless /Rocky Lake

Wanless /Rocky Lake  is situated within the Rural Municipality of Kelsey and sits on the fringe of the Canadian Shield, approximately 50 km north of The Pas.  To the community of Wanless, fishing and tourism are very important industries as the town is located adjacent to Rocky Lake, known for it’s great pickerel fishing. Rocky Lake features two lodges at the North Shore and a variety of public use trails for snowmobiling, snowshoeing and hiking.  A public boat launch is available on both the north and east shores.   Access is off Highway 10.

Boreal Forest Tours

 The Atikameg Forest Center offers guided tours of the boreal forest in Clearwater Lake Provincial Park and in town at the Rosie Mayne Nochemek Trail.

The Rosie Mayne nochemek Trail – A self-guided interpretive trail developed by the Atikameg Forest Centre and Manitoba Hydro’s Forest Enhancement Program

Keskenomakawen: ”a place where learning takes place”

The forest is a great teacher.  It is very patient, allowing each of us the time we need to learn and to understand.

And it is essential that we understand what the forest has to teach us.  Because how we interact with the forest in turn has an enormous impact on the quality of life on our planet5- hot just human life, but all life on Earth.

 The 2.7 kilometer Rosie Mayne Nochemek (forest) Trail allows those who travel it to learn and to understand – and most important –to respect the forest.

Sturdy shoes or boots are  advised at all times of year, as well as insect repellent from mid-May through to mid-August.

 No Tent?    No Gear?   No Problem

 Want to experience the great outdoors.  Something new that is coming to our region is “Camping Lite” with Yurts and Cabins. Yurts are part cabin, part tent and 100 percent comfortable.  These large, fabric sided domed shelters offer an authentic camping experience for visitors who don’t own or want to bring their RV or tent with them. Yurts will be available in the Pas in 2006.

The Caves

 While taking a drive out to Clearwater Lake, which is known as a “true blue” lake, stop in at The Caves.  These are not true caves but rather deep crevices that formed when rock masses split away from shoreline cliffs. In the dark, cool depths you may see snow in early July and hardy plants which can grow in little light.

While exploring this impressive park feature, please stay on the designated trail, use the stairways and viewing platforms. These are provided for your safety and to protect sensitive plant growth. Allow about 45 minutes.
 

 

 

 

 

Both cave-like formations of broken rock and true caves, can provide shelter for wildlife such as black bears, squirrels and weasels. In the park, garter snakes spend winters in compartments below the frost line.

 Clearwater Lake

 

 

 

 

Clearwater Lake, a deep, clear, cold lake, is renowned for its excellent water quality and large lake trout. Only 26 km from The Pas.

  

Visit Sunset Beach, Campers Cove & Pioneer Bay  At Clearwater Lake

 

 

 

 

 

Moccasin Making Course

 

 

White Feather Creations (retail store featuring Aboriginal clothing and other items) has offered a moccasin making course for those wishing to try their hand at a Native craft. (Sign-up sheets will be available. There will be charge for the course – to be determined at a later date.)
