This project is constantly updated but will never be complete 🙂

  • 1. There were Ferlands associated with the traditional  Saulteaux  / Metis settlement of Zhiishiibi-Zhiibiing, Manitoba which had long been a place where indigeneous people gathered in the Fall. It was an area of natural resources including fishing in the Fall and also nearby marshes which were rich with birds. European settlers called the place Baie de Canard or Duck Bay.
  • 2. Pierre Ferlandis named as one of the Metis Band members who left Treaty after the Band accepted Treaty Four [Source: Historic Metis Settlements in Manitoba and Geographical Place Names, Lawrence Barkwell, Louis Riel Institute]
