The First Nation of Ojibwe California (FNOC) is a cultural organization of self-identified Ojibwe expatriates from other parts of North America. The organization's motto is "Gathering all Anishinabe living in California."[1]
The FNOC are included among the Ojibwe Bands and First Nations of today, despite that their origins are not geographically in California.[2]
Origins[edit]
When descendants of various Ojibwe found themselves in California, a group was formed, in order for them to have the ability to "gather all the Anishinabe across California to come together to practice and engage our culture, traditions and language."[1]
The FNOC are based in Fremont, California.[3][4]

- Be an existing member of a nation of Anishinabe in USA or Canada.
