Notre Dame Bay's Indian Islands consist of two main islands, Western & Eastern Indian Island. The scenic islands can be viewed from the ferry (during a crossing), or from the ferry Terminal at Man O'War Cove.

During the 1800's, the Beothuk fished and hunted on and around these islands. Their frequent presence resulted in the name "Indian Islands".

1810 saw the first permanent White-man settlement.  At that time this first settler, was employed by Governor Holloway to locate any remaining Beothuks. Shawnawdithit, the last of the Beothuks was captured in this vicinity by William Cull in 1823.

The 1850's and 1860's saw an influx of residents from Conception Bay North. But the early 1920's brought many harsh storms causing much destruction. The storms during this decade resulted in resettlement to Stag Harbour. The final resettlement occurred in the fall of 1959. The only remnants of this way of life are the cemeteries and a war monument.

Today, Indian Islands is well known for its camping grounds, and abundance of delicious bake-apples.
