North Caribou Lake First Nation

Though the First Nation's official name registered with the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada is "North Caribou Lake First Nation”, the First Nation is located on Weagamow Lake, thus also known as "Weagamow First Nation" or by the literal translation of the Oji-Cree word Waawiiyegamaa—"Round Lake."

Residents can trace their family line back to 200 years. Ojijak Crane, member of the Sucker Clan is recorded to have had three wives and 16 of which were sons around this time. Most of these sons grew up to a distinct group known as the Cranes. Weagamow Lake has long been a summer camping location for families who traditionally wintered at McKoop Lake, North Caribou Lake and Windigo Lake. These families became known as the North Caribou Lake Band when they signed an adhesion to Treaty No.9 in 1930.
