Riding Mountain House

[3] The Keeseekooweenin First Nation owns the reserve where Riding Mountain House once stood.

[4] In 1875, the band was offered the choice of staying at Riding Mountain House or moving to Dauphin Lake, with fourteen heads of families voting to stay and nine to move to Dauphin Lake.

The advantage of Dauphin Lake was that it had better hunting and fishing, and was more isolated from European settlement.

However, those who wanted to stay had built houses, cleared and fenced land and were raising good crops of potatoes, wheat, barley and garden vegetables.

[5] The trading post lies on or very near to land currently owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
