The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation (which in their language is Algonquin: Pikwàkanagàn Omàmiwininiwak) is a group of Algonquin people. They are a First Nation in Ontario, Canada. This community was once known as the Golden Lake First Nation.
Their traditional land is located near Golden Lake in the Ottawa Valley. This area is now part of Bonnechere Valley. As of 2008, there were about 1,992 registered members of this First Nation. Around 406 of these members lived on their own land, called a reserve.
Pikwàkanagàn Reserve
The First Nation has a special area of land called the Pikwakanagan Indian Reserve. This land was previously known as Golden Lake 39 Indian Reserve. A reserve is land set aside by the government for the use of a First Nation.
Their reserve covers an area of 688.8 hectares (1,702 acres). It is right next to the small community of Golden Lake. This location is between the villages of Killaloe and Eganville. It's about 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of the city of Pembroke. The reserve land stretches along the southern shores of Golden Lake and the Bonnechere River.
