The Elsipogtog First Nation (pronEng|ɛlzɪˈbʊktʊk), formerly called the Big Cove Band, is a Mi'kmaq First Nation in New Brunswick, Canada. It is one of the two largest First Nations in the province, with a population of about 3000. The First Nation's territory comprises Richibucto Reserve #15, lying 9 km west of Rexton, New Brunswick. [http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/at/mp/pg3_e.html] , Indian and Northern Affairs, retrieved September 8, 2008.]

Elsipogtog or L'sipuktuk means "River of Fire". The area was also called the stronghold of Sikniktuk. The traditional district was assigned to the Mi'kmaq clan of Alguimou, or L'kimu. Misel Alguimou was baptised Michael Augustine in the 1700s. Chief Michael Augustine signed the Peace and Friendship Treaty with the British in 1761, on behalf of the Richibucto Tribe of Mi'kmaq. The Richibucto Reserve was established in 1802 and later reduced in size. Richibucto Reserve # 15 is also known as the Big Cove Reserve. It was also called Big Cob, Mesigig Oalnei, and currently known as Elsipogtog (Pacifique spelling), or L'sipuktuk (Francis-Smith variation) and Elsipogtog First Nation.
