About

The Kinistin Saulteaux Nation is a Saulteaux band in Saskatchewan. Its reserve is located 39 kilometres (24 mi) southeast of Melfort. The Kinistin Band was established by a chief Kinistin (Cree), who came to Saskatchewan from Western Ontario.

The First Nation have reserved for themselves three reserves namely Kinistin Reserve 91, which serves as their main Reserve, Kinistin Reserve 91A, and Treaty Four Reserve Grounds (Indian Reserve 77), which is shared with 32 other First Nations. The total registered population in February 2009, was 913, of which the on-reserve population was 328 members. 

The Kinistin Saulteaux Nation was originally part of the Yellow-quill Saulteaux Band, a Treaty Band named after a Treaty 4 signatory Chief Ošāwaškokwanēpi. Kinistin is named after Chief Kiništin, one of the headmen for Chief Ošāwaškokwanēpi. Soon after the death of Chief Ošāwaškokwanēpi, the Yellow-quill Saulteaux Band divided into three groups, with the group originally headed by Chief Kiništin becoming the Kinistin Saulteaux Nation.
