Factory Island 1 is a Cree First Nations reserve on Moose Factory Island in northern Ontario. It is one of two reserves for the Moose Cree First Nation.

Land use

The northern two-thirds of the island comprises this reserve or land north of Museum Street. Most residential, the reserve is home to a Northern Store, Cree Interpretative Centre and Treeline Diner. Key government services, including the hospital, are located in the southern part of the island under the Unorganized North Cochrane District.

Half of the reserve, namely the north end is tree covered land.

Transportation

Gravel roads are used for vehicles within town. There are no bridges, but an ice road is available during the winter season.

Climate

The reserve and the Moosonee area has a very cold humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb). The climate data is from Moosonee, around 3 km (1.9 mi) to the west.
