Saugeen Ojibway Nation
The Saugeen Ojibway Nation or SON is comprised of two Communities, the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and the Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation. The SON People are Anishinaabek People of the Great Lakes Region. SON describes both the Territory (lands and waters) and the People who have lived with and protected the Territory since time immemorial.
SON’s Territory (or Saukiing Anishinaabekiing) encompasses much of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula, extending down south of Goderich and east of Collingwood. The waters that comprise the Territory are the waters surrounding these lands and include the lakebed of Lake Huron from the shore to the international boundary with the United States and the lakebed of Georgian Bay to halfway across the Bay. SON Communities occupy large, unceded communal lands (reserves) bordering Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. SON also has an exclusive hunting reserve in the northern part of the Saugeen Peninsula. In SON’s Territory, SON members have proven and asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights, including court-proven commercial fishing rights (R v Jones Nadjiwon 1993) and an active commercial fishery.Saugeen Ojibway Nation asserts its rights, jurisdiction, and governance across the Territory.
