This photo hangs in Mill on Main in Huntsville. It’s a photo of Ojibway warrior and hunter Chief John Bigwin, after whom Bigwin Island in Lake of Bays was named when it was developed in the 1920s. Native burial grounds on the island were preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anishinaabeg were the original people of the region. The Anishinaabeg travelled to the narrows at Trading Bay (Lake of Bays), set up camps, harvested maple syrup and birch bark, fished, hunted, trapped and traded. Eventually, the Anishinaabeg realized that their hunting and harvesting rights and territory had been lost through a series of treaties. The legacy of the original inhabitants lives on through the many landmarks, rivers, lakes and islands that bear Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) place names and the descendants of the Anishinaabeg who are members of the seven First Nations of the Williams Treaties (1923), the nearest of which is the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. (From Ontario Heritage Trust).<\/p>\n\n\n
