Fishing Lake Metis Settlement, a Metis community which occupies a land base of 204,381 acres.
The Settlement shares a border with the Elizabeth Metis Settlement, near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and is situated between two large lakes Fishing Lake and Frog Lake.                                                                       

Fishing Lake is important to Metis history in western Canada, including the Metis Settlements. Oral history of the community tells how Metis leader Louis Riel and his supporters camped at Fishing Lake during the 1885 Metis Resistance at Batoche, Saskatchewan. Many of the ancestors of families at Fishing Lake made their homes in

this area prior to the formal establishment of the Settlements and were connected to the St. Paul des Metis Settlement. It was at this community that Metis settlers first began to organize for the primary purpose of

securing land for future generations.
