Kasabonika First Nation

Kasabonika Lake First Nation or Kasabonika First Nation (Anishinini language: ᑲᐦᓴᐹᓇᐦᑳ ᓂᐣᑕᒥ ᐊᓂᐦᕈᓂᓂᐧᐋᐟ ("Gasabaanakaa Nistam Anišininiwaad"); unpointed: ᑲᓴᐸᓇᑲ ᓂᐣᑕᒥ ᐊᓂᕈᓂᓂᐊᐟ) is an Oji-Cree First Nation located north of Sioux Lookout, Ontario. There are no roads into the community and the only access is through Kasabonika Airport. It is part of the Shibogama First Nations Council and the Nishnawbe Aski Nation. The First Nation's landbase is the 10806.5 ha Kasabonika Lake Reserve.

In September, 2007, the total registered population was 914, of which the on-reserve population was 866.

The Kasabonika First Nation detachment of the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service was closed in early February 2008 as it lacked running water and relied on a wood fire in a 170 litre drum to heat the facility. Holding cells lacked toilet facilities, requiring detainees to use a slop bucket. Prisoners now must be flown to Sioux Lookout, costing as much as $10,000 per trip.Puxley, Chinta.
