Mississauga First Nation

Name

The word Mississauga is an anglicized version of the Ojibwe word Misswezahging, which means ‘a river with many outlets.’ This name comes from the Mississagi River, which is a bird-foot delta, a haven for fish and waterfowl and is currently a jointly managed Provincial Park.
