The Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation (AOPFN) is a proud and progressive Algonquin community located on the shores of Golden Lake and the Bonnechere River in Renfrew County, Ontario.  

"Pikwakanagan," meaning "hilly place," is home to approximately 450 on-reserve members and nearly 3,800 registered members. Situated 1.5 hours west of Ottawa, AOPFN’s 1,800-acre reserve is part of a larger 9-million-acre traditional unceded territory. 

Our heritage, rooted in the teachings of the Seven Grandfathers, shapes our identity and way of life, emphasizing honesty, humility, respect, courage, wisdom, love, and truth.  

We have exercised our rights to hunt, trap, fish, gather, and perform other cultural activities for millennia. We continue to assert Algonquin aboriginal title and rights across our unceded lands, including underwater areas. 

As we continue to grow and develop, AOPFN remains committed to preserving our cultural heritage, protecting our traditional lands, and fostering a vibrant, healthy, and sustainable future for our community.
