| Historical
Notes The Salteaux Ojibway people (ancestors of Eagle Lake First Nation people) inhabited the Ontario portion of the area subsequently covered by the Northwest Angle Treaty of 1873 - Treaty No. 3. Their economy was based on fishing, hunting, gathering, trapping, the harvesting of wild rice and some horticulture, until the late 18th century when they became involved in the fur trade with the Hudson's Bay Company. |

Industries Trapping and forestry are principal occupations. The majority of workers are employed in the service sector, divided almost equally between government and other sector industries. The rest are involved in forestry and manufacturing activities. Local industries include a resort with a main lodge, 11 cabins and a winterized conference centre. |
