Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve 26, Indigenous reserve on Manitoulin Island, Canada.
Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve 26 is an Indigenous community on the eastern peninsula of Manitoulin Island, with forests, water access, and settled areas. The place includes residential neighborhoods, schools, health services, and cultural facilities that serve the community.
This reserve kept its sovereignty when other First Nations signed the McDougall Treaty in 1862. That choice allowed the community to remain independent and hold onto their land.
This place is home to the Three Fires Confederacy, bringing together Odawa, Ojibway, and Potawatomi peoples who maintain their traditions here. You can see and experience these cultural practices woven into daily community life.
You can reach this place by following Wiikwemkong Way, which connects to Ontario Highway 6. Keep in mind this is a living community with private homes and facilities, so visit with respect for local spaces.
The De-ba-jeh-mu-jig Theatre Group performs professional productions here that tell First Nations stories and histories. This theater has become a recognized place where you can experience Indigenous performing arts.
