Wolf Lake First Nation

Wolf Lake remains a recognized First Nation without a land base / reserve. We are one of then communities representing the Algonquin Nation in Canada. The traditional territory of the Algonquin Nation includes the entire Ottawa River watershed straddling the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario.

Company History

The Anishinabek people of the Upper Ottawa region have been here for at least six thousand years. Our ancestors had a regular seasonal routine based on their relationship with the land. Families would spend the winter hunting, fishing and trapping. In the spring, we would assemble with other families at strategic locations like Mattawa or the Long Sault rapids on Lake Temiscaming. Our gathering places had abundant resources – especially fish, which sustained us throughout the summer months. Our traditional structures of social and political organization allowed us to ensure that the lands were managed in a sustainable way for future generations.

Company Facts

Wolf Lake First Nation consists of 250 registered members lead by Chief Lisa Robinson and two elected councilors. Our band office is located in Temiscaming, Quebec.
For over 140 years, our leaders have been demanding that Canada and the province of Quebec accommodate our people by honouring the oaths and pledges they made. Both levels of government have consistently refused to work with us in good faith. We the people of Wolf Lake continue to seek our rightful title to reserve lands.
