Ontario First Nations Map

The Ontario First Nations map shows the locations of:

• First Nation communities: listed by band number and cultural affiliation (e.g., Algonquin, Cree, Ojibway)
• Tribal Councils (a grouping of bands with common interests who join together to provide advice and programs to their members)
• reserves (land set aside for bands under the Indian Act and treaty agreements)
• political organizations (e.g., Union of Ontario Indians, Grand Council Treaty 3)
• land covered by specific treaties

The border shows symbols that have special meaning to First Nations in Ontario.
