Despite being the largest freshwater island in the world, Manitoulin is one of Ontario's best-kept secrets. Naturally beautiful beaches and hiking make this the ideal place to get away from it all. Anishinabek Peoples have traded and settled here for thousands of years. Today, the unceded Wiikwemkoong Territory is a proud, progressive, and prosperous First Nation steeped in the Indigenous culture and language of the Anishinabek.
