With a population of roughly 400 residents, Nibinamik is part of the Matawa First Nations Council, representing several Oji-Cree communities across Northwestern Ontario. The name “Nibinamik” translates to “summer water,” reflecting the community's close relationship with the surrounding lakes and river systems.
