Pimicaskewyashik

Pimicaskewyashik lies north of the North Saskatchewan River, near the country once served by Fort Pitt. In the winter of 1829–30 John Rowand established the Hudson's Bay Company post on the river to supply travellers. Cree, Assiniboine and Blackfoot people came there to trade, bringing bison products and other provisions. The post stood between the company's establishments farther east and west along the river.
