Nin-Da-Waab-Jig (Those who seek to find) opened its doors in November 1989.

The Heritage Centre is located at the North end of Walpole Island on the eastern side of Highbanks Park. Over the past 25 years, the Centre has grown from its original function as primarily a land claims and historical research centre, to that of a multi-functional facility which houses Natural Heritage Program, Environmental Program, Research Development, External Projects Program and archival building for land claims, and research.

The Heritage Centre’s goals support the efforts of Walpole Island’s Council and community:

• To preserve and restore the Walpole Island First Nation’s natural and cultural heritage.

• To restore the rights, and improve the capacity to manage and and govern the Walpole Island First Nation and its traditional homelands, fairly, effectively, and efficiently.

• To promote the sustainable development of Walpole Island into the next century.

The Centre has received recognition both nationally and internationally fort its work on environmental issues and concerns.
