Mike Metawabin

I was born and raised in the First Nation community of Fort Albany located in northern Ontario along the shores of western James Bay. I was acclaimed as Deputy Grand Chief for Nishnawbe Aski Nation in August 2024. I have also been Chairman of the Nishnawbe Aski Police Services board of directors for almost 20 years. I served four terms as Chief in my home community of Fort Albany, where I was born and raised. I am a father and a grandfather, my biggest and best accomplishment that I take seriously. I am fluent in my language, I am a residential school survivor and I am committed to working for and with my people in the Treaty 9 territory.
