Michipicoten First Nation
Aaniin - Boozhoo - Wachay
To be an economic, independent, self-sustaining, self-governing First Nation where all Members share a strong cultural identity based on a profound understanding of who we are and on a clear sense of connection with our cultural origins. A community that lives in peace with all of creation, maintains a healthy balance between the individual and collective needs, and works productively with both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities, based on a sense of mutual respect and equality. Where Members rightfully come together and virtuously establish a strong sense of self-esteem, respect for each other and who work together for the well being of all. A First Nation in which the youth have a positive future and the Elders hand over a strong and thriving community to the next generation.
In 2008 with the settlement of the Boundary Claim the new western Boundary of the Gros Cap Reserve begins at the mouth of the Dore River which flows into Lake Superior as shown below.
