Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation

Kettle & Stony Point First Nation (Ojibwe: Wiiwkwedong Anishinaabek, meaning: "in/at the bay") comprises the Kettle Point reserve and Stony Point Reserve (which is under remedial cleanup after over 50 years of occupation by the Canadian Armed Forces), both located approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) northeast of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, on the southern shore of Lake Huron. The reserves serve as the land base for the Chippewas (Anishnaabeg) of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.

They are one of 42 Anishinaabeg First Nations in Ontario that belong to the Anishinabek Nation Grand Council.

The Chippewa (also generally called Ojibwe in Canada) are an Anishinaabemowin-speaking indigenous nation with people within the borders of present-day Canada and the United States.
