History

Fort Severn served as one of the earliest trading posts in the new world. It was established by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1689. When the treaty was signed, the federal government, with the consent of the leaders at the time, set aside land for a native reserve in the Rocksand area at the junction of the Severn and Sachigo Rivers. In 1973, the reserve was relocated to the opening of the Severn River. The reserve achieved full status on January 11, 1980. Frontispiece of Peter Martyr dAnghieras De orbe novo (On the New World).
