Buffalo Point First Nation is an Ojibwa or Saulteaux First Nations located in the southeastern corner of Manitoba, along the shores of Lake of the Woods. It is bordered largely by the unorganized portion of Division No. 1, Manitoba, and also has smaller borders with the Rural Municipality of Piney, as well as the northeast corner of Roseau County, Minnesota.
The main reserve of Buffalo Point 36 (49°0′59″N 95°15′42″W / 49.01639°N 95.26167°W)[1] contains the resort community of Buffalo Point, Manitoba (49°0′40″N 95°14′20″W / 49.01111°N 95.23889°W).[2][3]
The First Nation is independent,[2] but was once a member of the Southeast Resource Development Council. Though a signatory to Treaty 3, the First Nation is not a member of the Grand Council of Treaty 3.
