Michipicoten First Nation

Michipicoten First Nation

The Michipicoten First Nation is an Ojibwe First Nation in Northern Ontario, located near Wawa. Members of the community have resided at the mouth of the Michipicoten River since before the first arrival of European settlers to the area.

The Michipicoten went through several forced moves during the 19th and 20th centuries, causing significant disruption to the community.[1] Members of the First Nation concluded an historic land agreement with the governments of Canada and Ontario in January 2008, after a successful referendum.[2]
