Henvey Inlet First Nation
These Ojibway's are located along Lake Huron's northeastern shores. They are within a Reserve I'll name Magnetawan Reserve. Below are links to google earth photos of these Ojibway communities of Henvey Inlet (aka French River), Magnetawan, Shawanaga and Wasauksing (aka Parry Island) and a map of this Ojibway Reserve. They signed September 9, 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty, under chief Wa-ge-ma-ke who signed for them. They were left with a large Reserve covering 324 sq. mi. or 839.1 sq. km. On-Reserve population of Henvey Inlet First Nation is, according to a 2016 census, 122. They have 62 dwellings with 56 lived in. Average household size is 2.2 persons per household which is way below normal for Ojibway communities. Adjacent to them on their south, are Magnetawan (chief Pa-meq-uo-naish signed 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty for them) Ojibway's. Further south are Shaw-an-a-ga (chief Ma-ka-ta Mi-sha-quet signed 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty for them) Ojibways and Parry Island (chief Me-kis signed 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty for them) Ojibways. All 4 share a same reserve. Size of Henvey Inlet District is 324 sq. mi. or 839.1 sq. km. Size of Magnetawan District is also 324 sq. mi. or 839.1 sq. km. Size of Shawanaga District is 81 sq. mi. or 209.8 sq. km. Size of Parry Island District is 144 sq. mi. or 373 sq. km. Total size of all four Districts is 873 sq. mi. or 2,261 sq. km. Ojibway leaders of those times (during 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty signings) considered 1 mile to be 1 league or 3 miles. On-Reserve population of Magnetawan is 101 according to a 2016 census. On-Reserve population of Shawanaga is 195 according to a 2016 census. On-Reserve population of Parry Island is 312. Total on-Reserve population of all four Districts, is 730. Canadian leaders refused to deal with them with honesty. They were too greedy and selfish!
