Reserves


The First Nation have reserved for themselves six reserves:



  • 3,615.10 hectares (8,933.1 acres) Big Grassy River 35G, which serves as their main reserve,

  • 1,408.70 hectares (3,481.0 acres) Lake of the Woods 35J,

  • 518 hectares (1,280 acres) Naongashing 35A,

  • 712.30 hectares (1,760.1 acres) Obabikong 35B,

  • 1,098 hectares (2,710 acres) Assabaska, which is shared with Ojibways of Onigaming First Nation, and

  • 379 hectares (940 acres) Agency 30, which is shared with 12 other First Nations.


Historically, the Assabaska Band of Saulteaux had also reserved for itself:


  • 640 acres (260 ha) Little Grassy River 35E

but it was not surveyed. On paper, two additional reserves were recommended to be set aside to augment Little Grassy River 35E:



  • 1,600 acres (650 ha) Little Grassy River 35E1

  • 640 acres (260 ha) Windy Point 35E2


but without consultation with the Assabaska Band, all three reserves were disposed upon creation of Lake of the Woods Provincial Park. Other reserves of the Assabaska Band were parted to the Ojibways of Onigaming First Nation upon dissolution of the Assabaska Band.



Governance


Big Grassy First Nation is governed by Chief Lynn Indian and 5 counclers Deborah Ludeman, Elvis Adams, Jeff Morison and Glenn Archie. Their elected two-year term ends on January 6, 2021.
