Marten Falls First Nation and Aroland First Nation are two of nine Northern Ontario First Nations in the Matawa Tribal homeland within the larger Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Treaty #9 territory. The people of Matawa First Nations communities believe in putting community needs first. They are committed to supporting each other and working together as a regional group in order to build community strength for the future.
The Ring of Fire is within the Matawa territory in Northern Ontario and is the site of extensive mineral exploration activity with over 35,000 staked mining claims. Local First Nations expect to share in the benefits of this resource and want to ensure that not only mining but mineral processing jobs stay in the Matawa territory.
