Churchill—Keewatinook Aski (formerly Churchill) is a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1935. It covers the northern four-fifths of Manitoba, a vast wilderness area dotted with small municipalities and First Nations reserves. It was named after the town of Churchill, Manitoba, which resides on Churchill River. It is the fifth-largest riding in all of Canada.
History
The riding was created in 1933 when Nelson riding was abolished. The entire area of Nelson was transferred into the new riding of Churchill.
This riding gained territory from Selkirk—Interlake and was renamed "Churchill—Keewatinook Aski" during the 2012 electoral redistribution. "Keewatinook Aski" (ᑮᐍᑎᓄᕽ ᐊᐢᑭᐩ kîwêtinohk askiy) means Northern region in Cree language.
Demographics
The riding has the highest percentage of First Nations people (61.1%) in Canada,[2] as well as the highest percentage of Cree speakers – both those whose mother tongue (21.6%) is Cree[3] and those that use it as a home language (16.6%).[4]
