Matawa First Nation communities are situated within the James Bay Treaty #9 and the Robinson Superior Treaty 1850 (though not a signatory to this Treaty). They consist of remote and road access communities with a total population of approximately 10,709 people (with 5,703 on-reserve and 5,006 off-reserve). ROAD ACCESS
Aroland First Nation
Constance Lake First Nation
Ginoogaming First Nation
Long Lake #58 First Nation
REMOTE ACCESS (FLY-IN ONLY)
Eabametoong First Nation
Marten Falls First Nation
Neskantaga First Nation
Nibinamik First Nation
Webequie First Nation
Presently, the communities are at varying levels of development, both economically and socially, and face many different challenges. In all of the remote access communities, both English and the local native language are spoken. In the road access communities, some of the younger people only speak English. The preservation and promotion of traditional native languages and culture is a priority for Matawa First Nations.
