Fishing Lake First Nation, known in Ojibwe as Gichi-ginoozhewaaning, is an Anishinaabe (Saulteaux, Ojibwe) community southeast of Humboldt, Saskatchewan. The band was originally part of the Yellow Quill Saulteaux Band. Chief Yellow Quill signed an adhesion to Treaty 4 in 1876, which established the Fishing Lake and Nut Lake First Nations. By 1907, Fishing Lake was officially recognized as a separate First Nation, and its first Chief was Chief Sabitawasis.

The Nation's main reserve is Fishing Lake 89. Its other reserves are:

• Fishing Lake 89A
• Fishing Lake 89D1
• Sabitawasis Beach 89 C-1

Community facilities include an Administration Complex, Chief Sabitawasis School (K-12), a memorial hall, a wellness lodge, the Chamkun Health Centre and a water treatment plant. Hunting and fishing programs make sure Elders can get traditional foods even when they can no longer hunt themselves. Students go out on the land to learn traditional skills like scaling fish and skinning animals. Through a genealogy project, Elders, who are the knowledge keepers of the community, have worked alongside youth.

Community members are working to keep the Saulteaux language alive for future generations. Fishing Lake First Nation is an independent First Nation. Its business ventures include FLFN Ventures Ltd., which partners with Willow Cree Development Corporation and 2Nations Bird Construction.
