First Nation Land Code
Welcome to our Land Code Development website
Mitaanjigamiing First Nation is a signatory to the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management and is developing a Land Code (Land Law) to replace Indian Act control over our lands.
Once approved by the Mitaanjigamiing voting membership (on and off-reserve), our Land Code will enable our First Nation to regain governance over our lands, natural resources, and environment.
Our Land Code will replace the 44 land management sections of the Indian Act that currently control our lands.

Mitaanjigamiing Vision Statement
“Lands and resources are fundamental to have a nation where we are self-sufficient and proud of our community, our homes, our lands and resources. Together we practice Minowaanigitwawin and seek Minobimaatiziwin which is emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being. This pursuit is embraced with diligence, harmony and inclusivity for all members, including our future generations. We strive to offer balance, fairness, and accountability in our roles; consistency in their applications; and opportunities for all members to achieve success”
