The Mississaugas are a group of Indigenous peoples originally from the Great Lakes region in Canada. They are part of the larger Anishinaabe cultural group and speak the Ojibwe language. Historically, the Mississaugas lived along the shores of Lake Ontario and the surrounding areas, relying on fishing, hunting, and agriculture for their sustenance. Today, the Mississaugas are recognized as a distinct community, with several First Nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. They continue to preserve their cultural heritage while engaging in modern economic activities, including tourism and business development, contributing to the broader Canadian society.
