Prior to colonization, the Ochapowace controlled the land which was transferred to the Esterházy, a Hungarian noble family.[4] The First Nation was established on September 15, 1874, as a result of the signing of Treaty 4. Surveyed in 1876, its area was bounded between he northern end of Round Lake and the Qu'Appelle River. In 1881, by request of Kakisheway – an aboriginal leader – for moving, the Nation was combined with the Chacachas. After many Ochapowace members returned to the combined group, a group of approximately 45 joined Kakisheway and became nomadic.[5]
