Getting to know the First Nations Communities in NW Ontario.
Getting to know the First Nations Communities in NW Ontario.
Link to Info about First Nations in Northern Ontario
I have heard it said that there are 49 First Nations communities in NW Ontario. Above Sioux Lookout are about 25 communities. This page is dedicated to learning more about the communities. Some places also included are train stops or sport fishing camps along the train tracks. There may also be non- First Nations communities included because they are part of the landscape. Each page contains internet searches about information about each community. There are picture searches, mostly from the internet, and there are associated videos gleaned from You tube. In my research I have also discovered that the names of some communities in NW Ontario, also exist in southern Ontario. So, in your internet research on NW Ontario, be careful you are learning about the right community. May God bless your learning of these First Nation Communities.
