Red Sucker Lake (Oji-Cree: Mithkwamepin Thaakkahikan, ᒥᐢᑾᒣᐱᐣ ᓴᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) is an Oji-Cree First Nation in Manitoba, Canada, located about 706 km (439 mi) northeast of Winnipeg.
As of December 2021[update], the registered population was 1,178 of which 953 lived on their own reserve.
Historically, the peoples of Red Sucker Lake were part of the Island Lake Band, which also included nearby First Nations of Garden Hill, St. Theresa Point, and Wasagamack.
In 1969, Island Lake split into four separate communities with their own separate administrations: Garden Hill, Wasagamack, St. Theresa Point First Nations, and Red Sucker Lake.
