Taykwa Tagamou Nation (formerly
New Post Nation)
The
Taykwa Tagamou Nation has a reserve located 14 km west of
the Abitibi Canyon Hydro Generation Station between Cochrane
and Moosonee. Due to the isolation of the reserve and lack
of employment opportunities, the reserve was never occupied.
In the early 1980's initiatives were taken by the Chief and
Council to find a new home for the Taykwa Tagamou Nation.
In 1984, a new site was chosen and this has become the current
location for Taykwa Tagamou. The community is located on a
177 hectare site in Bower Township, approximately 20 km west
of Cochrane on Highway 574.
