About 100 people who were evacuated from the Kashechewan First Nation in Ontario are returning home this week.
About 1,100 people were airlifted out of the Cree reserve after E.coli, a dangerous bacteria, was found in the water system.
The incident sparked a major controversy in Canada as provincial and federal officials trade blame for the conditions on the reserve.
A water purification has since been installed.
