Saugeen First Nation | Chippewas of Saugeen Ojibway Band | Southampton, ON

The original historic people of Saugeen are Ojibway. "Chippewas of Saugeen" is the legal name of the community and in early 1970s began referring to their community as a "First Nation". The Ojibway heritage is rich in colour and expression. This is evident in dance, works of art and the handmade craft creations. The public is invited to sample the Saugeen Ojibway’s cultural heritage and experience their gracious hospitality. A visit to the Saugeen Amphitheatre in July or August will allow an opportunity to experience firsthand the Ojibway culture by participating in workshops and other programs.
