Pasqua

Pasqua was a Cree/Saulteaux Chief that signed Treaty Four in 1874, and was one of the few Chiefs to be practicing agriculture before the treaty negotiations. However, Pasqua did not accept his reserve land until 1876, and was concerned that if his land was surveyed he would be "submitting to the domination of the whites."

Pasqua supported Piapot and his desire for better Treaty Four terms, but his band was entirely dependent upon the rations provided by the government. Pasqua died of tuberculosis in 1889.
