History
The Mi'kmaq have inhabited the lands comprising present-day Prince Edward Island for over 10,000 years.[1]
The reserve named Lennox Island 1 is notable for being the first reserve in Canada owned by its people, having been purchased in 1878 by the Aboriginal Protection Society.[2]
The land known as Lennox Island 5 was acquired by the Lennox Island First Nation in the early 2000s.[3]
