Lac Seul First Nation Lac Seul First Nation (LSFN) is a community of three distinct settlements: Frenchman’s Head, Kejick Bay, and Whitefish Bay. The current on-reserve population is approximately 860, with a total registered population of 3,372 (as of October 2015). Our people speak Ojibway, Oji-Cree and English. Our communities are found on the southeast shores of Lac Seul Lake and extend southward to the north shores of
Lost Lake. This includes 66,248 acres of land. LSFN is about 40 km from the town of Sioux Lookout and can be reached by Highway 664 (off Highway 72). While inhabited for thousands of years by our ancestors, the earliest reference in historical journals was found in that of John Long, a fur trader in 1791. He reported that our ancestors called this territory “Obijikokaang” meaning Strait of the White Pines.
