Saulteaux is a French language term meaning "people of the falls". The origins of the Saulteaux were located north of the Great Lakes, Ontario. Due to the transformation of Canada and its economy the tribe moved westwards to Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Today most of them live in the Interlake, southern part of Manitoba, and in Saskatchewan.
