Naubinway was once a busy lumbering and fishing village near the mouth of the Millecoquins River. The lumber mills closed after the timber was cut and few families continued to operate commercial fishing operations. In the 1960’s state decided to favor sport fishing in the Great Lakes, thereby putting commercial fishermen out of business. Court decisions in the 1980s have enabled Indians to continue fishing because they never gave up their rights to hunt and gather when they ceded or sold their land to the government.
