Ontario, Canada. The First Nation has claimed they have not relinquished title to the reserve land by treaty or otherwise.

The local Ojibwe placename is (Manitoulin dialect; notice the vowel dropping) with the locative -ong ('at') form of 'bay with a gently sloping bottom'. The spelling ' is from dialects spoken elsewhere (or in earlier times) that retain the i. The initial element occurs in other forms as 'bay'; the final element -mik cannot be for 'beaver'
