The Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve (which means Dootinaawi-ziibiing in the Ojibwe language) is a special area of land for a First Nation community. It is located about 35 kilometers (22 miles) east of Roblin, Manitoba. It is also 74 kilometers (46 miles) west of Dauphin, Manitoba. You can find it about 5 kilometers (3 miles) north of PTH #5.
This First Nation is part of Treaty 4. This means their ancestors signed an agreement with the Canadian government a long time ago.
