Attawapiskat Indian Reserve 91, First Nations reserve in Kenora District, Ontario, Canada
Attawapiskat Indian Reserve 91 is a First Nations reserve in Kenora District, Ontario, located in a remote northern region. The reserve encompasses a large area of forest and waterways where the Attawapiskat First Nation resides.
The reserve was established in 1950 by the Canadian government following Treaty 9, which gave control of Cree lands over to development. This agreement reshaped the territory and its relationship with the surrounding region.
The Attawapiskat First Nation maintains the Swampy Cree language and practices as part of daily life here. The community continues to strengthen these traditions and connections to the surrounding land.
This reserve is located in a remote area with limited road access and few services for visitors. It is best to plan visits in advance and come prepared for northern climate conditions.
Few realize that the nearby De Beers Victor Diamond Mine has operated since 2008, extracting significant quantities of diamonds. This mining operation has considerably affected daily life and economic conditions in the community.
