Welcome sign of Kebaowek First Nation, Quebec

Kebaowek First Nation is a First Nations band government in Quebec, Canada.[2] Its only reserve has the same name, Kebaowek or Eagle Village First Nation - Kipawa Indian Reserve.[1][3]

The community is affiliated with the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation Tribal Council.[2] According to Chief Michael Mckenzie (1923-1996), the reserve was established in 1965 for communities living in Wolf Lake, Brennan Lake, Long Point and other locations around Lake Kipawa.[4] In 1970, 21 ha (52 acres) were set aside for the reservation[4] and by 2021 the First Nation had 50.6 hectares (125 acres).[5]

The Kebaowek First Nation has 890 registered members: 272 living on-reserve and 618 living off-reserve.[6] The first language spoken in the community is English, following by Algonquin and French.[6]
