Indian reserve in Ontario, Canada
Whitefish River First Nation (Ojibwe : Adikamegoshii-ziibiing )[ 2] is an Ojibwe First Nation in Manitoulin District , Ontario. It is a member of the United Chiefs and Councils of Manitoulin . Its reserve is located at Whitefish River 4 .
The reserve is one of the few subdivisions of Manitoulin District that is not on Manitoulin Island or its surrounding islands. This mainland peninsula also serves as a corridor for Ontario Highway 6 and the only bridge to Manitoulin Island.
In June 2023 during National Indigenous Peoples Day , the first monument to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women east of Winnipeg was erected outside the reserve's community centre. It was designed by Indigenous artists from Orillia, Ontario -based Signature Memorials and was jointly-funded by the federal and Ontario governments.[ 3]
