For My Brothers & Sisters in the U.S.:

Our treaties are the supreme law of the land. They are living, breathing legal instruments, recognized by the U.S. Constitution, that affirm our inherent sovereignty. They are promises made between nations, not gifts from a government. We are domestic dependent nations, but our rights and our nationhood predate the United States itself.

For My Brothers & Sisters in Canada:

Our Treaties are a sacred pact with the Crown. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was the Crown's first and most fundamental constitutional recognition of our existence as nations. Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, did not create our rights; it gave them the highest possible legal protection. Our rights are not granted—they are inherent.

The "Indigenous Not European Immigrant" line is more than merchandise. It's a visible assertion of our unceded sovereignty and a declaration that our rights are not negotiable.

Welcome, descendants of Wah-wis and interested members of the Chipeewayan Band No. 107!

This group is dedicated to uniting our family, reclaiming our heritage, and securing our rightful place as recognized members of the Chipeewayan Band under the Canadian Indian Act.

Our story begins with Wah-wis, also known as Little Egg, a respected leader who signed Treaty 6 in 1876, securing rights and benefits for our people. His legacy lives on through us, his descendants, and it's time to formally acknowledge this connection and claim our birthright.

The Canadian Indian Act provides a pathway for descendants of original Treaty signatories to gain Indian Status. This status comes with numerous benefits, including access to healthcare, education, and other social programs designed to support Indigenous peoples.

To help illustrate our shared ancestry and assist with the enrollment process, we've compiled a family tree tracing back to Wah-wis:

Wah-wis/Little Egg (1830-1900)
Son: Asquahtoe/Sight Walker
Asquahtoe/Sight Walker (1854-1914)
Son: John Stump, Sr.
John Stump, Sr. (1887-1978) children:
Patrick Stump (1908-1997)
Flora Stump/Big Knife (1907-1998)
Peter Stump (1918-1979)
Donald Stump (1920-2000)
Daniel Stump (1921-1946)
James Stump (1923-1999)
Fred Stump (1926-2020)

We invite all descendants of Chief Wah-wis and interested members of the Chipeewayan Band No. 107 to join us in this important endeavor. By uniting and asserting our rights, we can:

Honor our ancestors: Formal recognition as status Indians pays tribute to the legacy of Councillor Wah-wis and ensures his sacrifices were not in vain.

Strengthen our community: A larger, more cohesive band has a stronger voice in advocating for our rights and interests.

Access benefits and opportunities: Indian Status opens doors to essential services and programs that can improve our quality of life.

Shape our future: Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come, grounded in our rich cultural heritage and empowered by self-determination.

Let's embark on this journey together, reclaiming our heritage and building a thriving future for our people.
