Alderville First Nation
905-352-2011
In the seventeenth century, the Southeastern Ojibwe began to expand into what is now known as Southern Ontario, an area then occupied by the Iroquois. By the eighteenth century, the Southeastern Ojibwe had settled into the areas around the Bay of Quinte, Lake St. Clair, the valleys of the Grand River and the Thames River and along the north shore of Lake Ontario. The Mississaugas of Alnwick (ancestors of the people of Alderville First Nation) settled on Grape Island in the Bay of Quinte in the mid 1800s. Here they lived for 11 years, subsisting on agriculture and hunting. In 1830, the Alderville reserve was created from a block of crown lands in the Township of Alnwick granted to the Band by Lieutenant Governor Sir John Colborne. Burleigh Falls Burleigh Falls is a small but vibrant community just north of Peterborough. Here you will find the gate to the Petroglyphs Provincial Park, beautiful lakes and rivers, excellent cross-country ski trails at Haultain and a blend of Ojibwe, Metis and non-Aboriginal people who have lived and worked together to make up this multicultural group.

Mud Lake Indian Reservation Number 35 was the original name of the Curve Lake Band. It was established in 1829. The village land base was about 1,600 acres. Problems with rising water from the building of the Trent Canal locks and dams in Bobcaygeon and Buckhorn ended the traditional way of life for the Mud Lake citizens. The reserve was confirmed by the Williams Treaty of 1923. Mud Lake legally changed its name to Curve Lake Reserve No. 35 in 1964. The original 12 Mississauga family names have been passed down to today’s residents. Curve Lake is known for the Whetung Gallery.

The Mississaugas of Hiawatha were at one time part of a larger band known as the Mississaugas of Rice Lake, Scugog Lake and Mud Lake. In 1881, the Mississaugas surrendered and sold to the crown a large tract of land containing 1,951,000 acres for an annuity of $2,960.

Scugog Island First Nation
905-985-3337
In 1818, the Scugog Island First Nation occupied an island of about 1,206 acres in Balsam Lake, Benley Township. They later occupied land on Scugog Island itself, part of Scugog Township. The community was an Indian trading post on the shores of Lake Scugog. The construction of a dam at Bobcaygeon flooded the marshes around Scugog Island causing health problems and forcing the Mississaugas of Scugog Island to relocate to the Coldwater Reserve from 1835-1837. The Band has recently opened the Blue Heron Charitable Casino to help with community growth and development.
