Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve

Encyclopedia : W : WI : WIK : Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve


Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve (usually known as Wikwemikong, or Wiky) is an Indian reserve in the north-eastern section of Manitoulin Island in Manitoulin District, Ontario, Canada. Wikwemikong is the only unceded indian reserve in Canada, which means that it has not "relinquished title to its land to the government by treaty or otherwise." (Source: [link]). Wikwemokong means "Bay of the Beaver".

The community is home to a professional theatre company, De-ba-jeh-mu-jig Theatre Group, which stages and produces plays about First Nations life and culture.
