Webequie First Nation is located on the northern peninsula of Eastwood Island on Winisk Lake, 540 km (336 mi) north of Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada.

The primary way into the community is by air to Webequie Airport or winter road, which connects to the Northern Ontario Resource Trail.

When the Treaties were created between the Canadian government and the Aboriginal people of Canada, Webequie was mistakenly listed as part of the community of Fort Hope.

Despite this, the people of Webequie had to fight until February 15, 2001, to achieve full reserve status.

[3] The name "Webequie" comes from the Anishinini word webikwe meaning "shaking head."
