Missanabie Cree First Nation (Cree: masinâpôy ininiwak, ᒪᓯᓈᐴᔾ ᐃᓂᓂᐗᐠ) is a "Treaty 9" Nation. The nation is named after Missinaibi River and Lake, around which the traditional territory of the nation is located. The name "Missanabie" means "Pictured Water", referring to pictographs found on rock faces along Missinaibi River.

The communities' mother tongue is Moose Cree, also referred to as the "L-dialect" of Cree language.
