FPO — Strengthening Our Community Through Sustainable Growth

Curve Lake First Nation has a rich, deep, and meaningful culture and history as Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg, dating back thousands of years within this area. We are a community that is proud of our culture, heritage, and history, and we are dedicated to sharing these pieces of pride with those outside our community. 

There are many significant historical areas in Curve Lake. Some of these areas are open to the public for visitation and educational purposes. You are encouraged to spend some time exploring this page to strengthen your understanding of our community, cultural history, and significant historical areas within the community. We ask that visitation to any areas of our community is done so with respect and gratitude.
