The Anishinabek Nation has grown to 40 First Nations, representing 65,000 people across Ontario.

Chippewas of Rama First Nation, which is located near Orillia, is also one of many Anishinabek Nation communities that will ratify the Anishinabek Nation Education Agreement this fall.

Chief Rodney Noganosh says Chi-Miigwetch to the Union of Ontario Indians for welcoming the community back into the circle.

“Right after our election, one of our first mandates was to re-join the Union of Ontario Indians. Our community was all in support of us moving forward,” says Noganosh “We also would like to thank Aundeck Omni Kaning for hosting Grand Council this year.”
