Pauingassi First Nation (Ojibwe: Bawingaasi)[2] is an Anishinaabe (Saulteaux/Ojibwa) First Nation community located approximately 280 kilometres (170 mi) northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and 24 kilometres (15 mi) north of Little Grand Rapids, Manitoba, on a peninsula jutting southward into Fishing Lake, a tributary of Berens River.

The main economic base of the community remains hunting, fishing, trapping and wild rice harvesting.[1]

The First Nation has one reserve land: Pauingassi First Nation Indian Reserve, spanning a total 260.50 hectares (643.7 acres), which serves as their main reserve and contains the eponymous settlement of Pauingassi at 52°09′20″N 95°22′26″W / 52.15556°N 95.37389°W / 52.15556; -95.37389.
