Aniin Members and Volunteers,
​
As spring approaches, the Executive Council wishes everyone a joyful and prosperous New Year. We want to send a Kitchi Miigwetch to Michael Swinwood as his dedication and generosity have been invaluable to us, and we remain deeply grateful for all he has done.
​
We also want to express our gratitude to everyone who has taken the initiative to complete their statutory declarations. Your efforts are critical as we move forward together.
With the adjournment of the constitutional question in Sudbury ending soon, things may begin to progress quickly. We hope this will mark the beginning of forming our Nation Council.

Amikwa Report for Sept. 15, 2024
LEARN ABOUT THE AMIKWA
As an indigenous person, do you feel a deep connection the natural world? There's a reason many of you say yes.
Your are, in whole or in part, a descendant of the 'first nations' to inhabit a territory. For hundreds, if not thousands of years, your ancestors were shaped by the very land the waters they inhabited. They became the stewards of the land, protected it so that the resources would be there for future generations. For indigenous nations the land shaped their culture, spirituality, and knowledge sharing - their wisdom handed down through an oral tradition.
​
Our ancestors fought to protect their territory and the resources on it - for YOU. It's the reason the Amikwa Nipissing Nation must do the same for you and your children's children. It's time to reclaim the Nation's identity and regain its right as titleholder over a vast territory theAmikwa Nipissing never surrendered.
THE TRUE STORY OF THE AMIKWA
You won't read about us in the history books. But there's a good reason for that. Here's the real story of the Amikwa Nipissing people, and the truth behind the British Crown's attempt to erase the truth.
