The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, formerly known as the Golden Lake First Nation, are an Algonquin First Nation in Ontario, Canada. Their territory is located in the former township of South Algona (now part of Bonnechere Valley) in the Ottawa Valley on Golden Lake.

As of October, 2008, the registered population of the First Nation was 1,992 people, of which only 406 people lived on their own reserve.

History

The name "Pikwàkanagàn" comes from the Algonquin, meaning "[beautiful] hilly country [covered] in evergreens" or simply "a hilly place".

In September 1856, five families petitioned the Governor General for a grant of {{convert|200|acres|ha}} of land per family since their hunting grounds had been opened up for settlement and sale. Their request was denied. However on September 17, 1873, the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn received Crown Patent to a total of {{convert|1561|acres|ha}}, which became the First Nation's reserve.

Many Algonquin skills are still practiced among the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn though assimilation with surrounding non-native communities and enforced Residential schooling has affected their people, including several generations of their population raised without their culture, language and traditions. Now efforts are being made to bring culture, language and tradition into the forefront of their lives. Community members still participate in harvesting for food and fur, an annual Pow-wow unites people and tribes, food and crafting skills have survived and language skills though greatly diminished are being introduced into the community again.

Families

Commonly known families associated with the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn include: Amikons, Aird, Baptiste, Benoit, Bernard, Commanda, Cooke, Jocko, Kohoko, Lavalley, Leclaire, Meness, Pappin, Rabishaw, Sarazin, Tennisco, Timmerman, Two-Axe and Whiteduck.

Culture

Omàmiwininì Pimàdjwowin (the Algonquin Way Cultural Centre) and the Manido Chiman Museum are located at 1674 Mishomis Inamo, Pikwakanagan First Nation.

Governance

The First Nation's leadership is determined though the Custom Electoral System, consisting of a chief and six councillors. The current Chief is Kirby Whiteduck. The councillors are Jim Meness, Dan Kohoko, Ron Bernard, Wendy Jocko, Barbara Sarazin and Steven Benoit. Their term will end in March 2020.

The Council is an independent member of the Union of Ontario Indians, a tribal political organization representing many of the First Nations not located in the far northern Ontario.
