A Brief History

 

Welcome to our Anishinabek Nation of Wiiwkwedong, also known as Kettle Point.

 

Kettle Point is unceded territory located in southwestern Ontario along the south shore of Lake Huron.  We are officially known as the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point.  Our land base consists of approximately 1,096 hectares that accommodates an on-reserve population of 2,108 persons.

 

Kettle Point is named for its unusual spherical rock formations that erode from the underlying shale beds along the shore of Lake Huron.  These rock formations known as “kettles” are unique to only three locations within the entire world.

 

It is the uniqueness of this First Nation that makes the preservation of the Kettle Point lands a high priority, not only for its “kettles”, but for the first people’s of this aboriginal community and for the future generations to come.
