An Anicinapek Nation since time immemorial
The Apitipi Anicinapek Nation (AAN) is an Anicinapek Nation whose members have lived since time immemorial on their traditional territory with a documented archaeological presence of 8,000 years on their traditional territory (Côté et al, 2002).
The community of Apitipi Anicinapek Nation (Apitipi Anicinape Aki), a smaller component of the AAN Traditional Territory, was created in 1906 through Treaty No. 9, one of the historical treaties in Ontario, and is situated in the District of Cochrane approximately 50 kilometres east of Matheson, Ontario, accessible from Highway 101.
