The Long Plain First Nation (Ojibwe: Gaa-ginooshkodeyaag)[3] is an Ojibway and Dakota First Nations band government in Manitoba, Canada. (It also hosts a small number of Cree people as well.)
Situated on a land base of 44 km2 (10,800 acres) primarily located in the Central Plains Region of Manitoba,[4] its reserve lands include the Long Plain Reserve #6, the Keeshkeemaquah Reserve near Portage La Prairie, and the Madison Indian Reserve #1—the first urban reserve in Winnipeg.[5]
It is located to the southwest of Portage la Prairie along the Assiniboine River. It lies between the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie and the Rural Municipality of South Norfolk, and also borders another band's reserve, that of the Dakota Plains First Nation.
The current chief of the Long Plain First Nation is David Meeches, who was elected in December 2023, returning to the post after his tenure ended in 2013.[2] Meeches replaced Kyra Wilson, who was the second female Chief in Long Plain history.[6]
