Chippewa Indians Wikwemikong First Nation

This band of chippewa indians live on the east coast of lake huron, not to far from owen sound, ontario. Their tribal history includes many wars fought against the invading whites, and many of their ancestors fleeing to far northern ontario to escape from the white threat. Their ancestors signed the 1923 williams treaty which ceded their land and established their wikwemikong first nation or reserve. Their total enrolled band population is over 2,387, with most living off reserve. The size of this first nation is 41,181 hectares or 101,760 acres.
