Shawanaga 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 Ma-ka-ta Mi-sha-quet who signed for them. They were left with a Reserve covering 81.0 sq. mi. or 209.8 sq. km. On-Reserve population of Shaw-an-a-ga First Nation is, according to a 2016 census, 195. They have 93 dwellings with 82 lived in. Average household size is 2.4 persons per household. Adjacent to them on their north are Henvey Inlet (chief Wa-ge-ma-ke signed 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty for them) Ojibways and Magnetawan (chief Pa-meq-uo-naish signed 1850's Robinson-Huron Treaty for them) Ojibway's. Adjacent to them on their south are 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.

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 Henvey Inlet is 122 according to a 2016 census. On-Reserve population of Magnetawan is 101 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!
