Reserve
The First Nation's land base is the 4,266 hectare (10541.47 acre) Sandy Lake 88 Reserve.
Within this reserve is the community of Sandy Lake, which during the mid-1900s was known as Wabitigweyaang. Associated with the community, the Sandy Lake First Nation maintains seven neighbourhoods grouped into five districts:
- Airport / Big Rock
- Centre
- Ghost Point / Old Sawmill
- River
- R.C. side
The community is linked to the rest of the province by winter ice roads that travel south towards Deer Lake and Pikangikum.
