I never fully agreed with the choice of capitol for the Algonkian-Manitou Council (Saskatoon). Mainly because there are many other locations that would be better as a capitol instead. Here is my list of candidates that should have been chosen instead:
  • Regina: Regina is the only provincial capitol in the Council lands and has a beautiful Provincial building (that would rival even the White House in grandeur). It has also been a capitol city since the late 1800's (when it was going to be selected as the capitol of the North West Territories before the creation of Saskatchewan in 1905).
  • Grand Rapids: The centre for the Treaty 5 Area (largest portion of the AM Council).
  • Prince Albert: The centre for the Treaty 6 Area (second largest portion of the AM Council and located closest to the largest First Nation populations in Western Canada).
  • Thunder Bay: The administrative centre for the Nishnawbe Aski Nation which covers most of northern Ontario and about 1/3 of the AM Council.
  • Fort Qu'Appelle: The centre for the Treaty 4 Area (smallest portion of the AM Council).

I've been looking deeper at the SSC and potential capitols for it and Bellingham makes even less sense now. If the SSC choose Bellingham over Victoria because it was closer to Seatle then why didn't thy choose Olympia (the current capitol of Washington state and from what I can tell, part of the SSC)? Victoria would have been the best location for a capitol (maybe Vancouver) due to it being more central to the nation as a whole. I think I'm going to go back through my NAN books to see if there are any clues in them about why certain places were chosen.
