Due to the circumstances outlined in the letter from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC), the upcoming band nomination and election dates have been adjusted. This requires a new mail out being sent one again for the band nominations. As you will see in the Notice of Nomination Meeting letter, the new date for nominations will be held on Saturday, June 29th 2013 from 10 o'clock a.m until 5 o'clock p.m. The new election date will be on Saturday, August 10th 2013 at the Chippewa Administration Building. Any previous nominations sent will be disregarded and please note envelopes are now labelled Chief & Council, Clench Fraud Trust, and Land Claims Trust and forms should be placed in each one accordingly.

Boozhoo!
Welcome to the
Chippewas of the Thames First Nation website. We are located on the north bank
of the Thames River approximately 20 km southwest of London, Ontario. The
majority of Southwestern Ontario is our modern traditional territory. We call
ourselves Anishinabek which means “the original people.” We are known as the
Ojibway, which are a band of the Algonquin language family who originally
migrated to the Great Lakes area from the north-eastern region of North
America.
Our political alliances are
with the Odawa (Ottawa) and Bodaywadami (Pottawatomi) who together form the
Three Fires Confederacy. Please feel free to explore our website. Miigwech
