Great Lakes Communities Map

© University of Toronto Press 2020

Map of the Great Lakes region featuring present-day First Nations (Canada)/Tribal Councils (United States), associated trust lands, hunting territories, and jointly managed lands.

Map created by Nicky Recollet, Geospatial/GIS Specialist, Crane’s Atlas, and Robinson Huron Waawiindaamaagewin as part of Doodem and Council Fire: Anishinaabe Governance through Alliance by Heidi Bohaker. Downloadable here.

Note: The version of the map initially uploaded did not match the legend below. A higher resolution version of the correct map will be uploaded shortly. Thank you for your understanding.

Numbers indicate locations of First Nations / Tribal Councils (see key below for names).

Hatched areas indicate approximate extent of current land holdings for associated First Nations / Tribal Councils.

Note: Some First Nations/Tribal Councils have multiple entries to reflect multiple reserves or reservation lands. Many First Nations/Tribal Councils manage multiple distinct tracts of land but where the lands are close together for the scale of the map only one number was used.
