The Neskantaga First Nation (formerly known as the Lansdowne House Indian Band) is a remote government of the Oji-Cree First Nation band located on the shore of Attawapiskat Lake in the district of Kenora in the northern reaches of the Canadian province of Ontario. The First Nation is a signatory of Treaty 9 (originally as part of the Fort Hope Band) and has reserved 831,50 hectares for itself. Neskantaga Indian Reserve, on Attawapiskat Lake, which includes the main village of the Lansdowne House Indian Settlement. The Summer Beaver Indian Settlement is affiliated with the Neskantaga First Nation and is shared with the Nibinamik First Nation. Lansdowne House is linked by the Lansdowne House Airport to the rest of Ontario and by winter roads and ice roads to points south of Ontario. Via the Resource Trail to Northern Ontario. There is a total registered population of 414 people as of November 2011, of which 304 live on their own reservation. Neskantaga is a fly-in community and is therefore not accessible by road. Northern Light Mission Trips were carried out by members of the Tintern Church of Christ in Beamsville, Ontario, for the children of the community.
