Lac Seul First Nation
Lac Seul First Nation, also known as Obishikokaang, is the oldest Reserve in the Sioux Lookout District. The Reserve is made up of the communities of Kejick Bay, White Fish Bay and Frenchman’s Head, all located on the shores of Lac Seul.
The flooding of Lac Seul, as a result of the construction of a dam at Ear Falls in 1929, had a devastating affect on these communities. Kejick Bay became an island, separated from the mainland.
Over 800 Band Members live on the Reserve, many more live in the surrounding area, while others members live in various places around the world. Lac Seul and the surrounding forest have always provided for the economic and cultural well being of the people of Obishikokaang. Today Lac Seul First Nation plays a leading role in the management of all natural resources within their traditional territory.
