"Omushkego", "Missanabie Cree First Nation", (Cree: masinâpôy ininiwak, ᒪᓯᓈᐴᔾ ᐃᓂᓂᐗᐠ), is a Treaty 9 First Nation. The First Nation is named after the Missinaibi River and Missinaibi Lake, around which, the traditional territory of the Nation, is located. The name "Missanabie" means: "Pictured Water", referring, to pictographs found on rock faces, along Missinaibi River. The Nation's mother tongue is the Swampy Cree language, also referred to, as the "n-dialect" of the Cree language. Evidence and records suggest that, by as early, as the 1570's, members of the Missanabie Cree had settled in the areas surrounding present day Missinaibi Lake, Dog Lake and Wabatongushi Lake. In 1906, under the terms of Treaty 9, the Crown "promised" to set apart reserves for each band, based on one square mile of reserve land, per family of five, or, 128 acres per person. From 1906 to 2018, there never have been any lands set apart for the use and benefit of the Missanabie Cree people and as a result, the First Nation suffered and continues to suffer, significant damages. With no land base, for over 100 years and their traditional livelihood of hunting and fishing undermined with the creation of the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve, people began to leave the Missanabie area, in search of economic opportunities to support their families. The Missanabie Cree First Nation filed a claim with Canada, on the basis, that they have an outstanding entitlement to land under the terms of Treaty Nine and that, both Ontario and Canada, who were signatories to the Treaty, have breached their treaty obligations by failing to set aside land for the Missanabie Cree. While discussions remain ongoing with the Ontario government, in 2011, Missanabie Cree First Nation successfully concluded an agreement with the Government of Ontario for a land transfer of 15 square miles of Crown land in the Missanabie area and has successfully had this land designated as a reserve, in 2018, under the Additions to Reserve Policy. They were also successful in negotiating with the Government of Canada for loss of use compensation under their Treaty Land Entitlement claim, which was recorded, the largest per capita settlement in the history of Canada. The Government of Canada has also included 5 additional square miles, where its location has yet, to be determined.
