Walpole Island First Nation
First Nation
Walpole Island is an island and First Nation reserve in southwestern Ontario, Canada, on the border between Ontario and Michigan in the United States. It is located in the mouth of the Saint Clair River on Lake Saint Clair.
Walpole Island is given (but disputed) as the resting place of Tecumseh, prominent 19th-century leader of the Native American tribe known as the Shawnee.
Walpole Island is unceded territory and is inhabited by the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa peoples of the Walpole Island First Nation, who call it Bkejwanong, meaning "where the waters divide" in Anishinaabemowin.
