| Description |
English: Whitefish Island Village & Cemetery
Attracted by the abundant whitefish, Ojibwa encampments were located year round along the shores and islands of the St. Mary's River. Other ribes [sic] from Wisconsin, James Bay and Lake Nipissing came in the spring and the fall for fish harvesting and trading. The Jesuits recorded in October of 1641 about 2000 Indians were at the rapids when they arrived. Whitefish Island was a traditional gathering place in the Upper Great Lakes. The village hosted cultural activities such as powwows, religious ceremonies and seasonal festivities. The island alsohad [sic] a cemetery. Anishnabe descendants lived on the island in log huts up to 1902. Evidence of the historical village was found in archaeological excavations done in 1976.

Attirés par l'abondance du corégone, les Ojibwas campent toute l'année sur les rives et sur les îles de la rivière St. Mary's. D'autres tribus viennent du Wisconsin, de la baie James et du lac Nipissing au printemps et à l'automne pour pêcher et fair commerce. Les Jésuites rapportent qu'environ 2000 Indiens se trouvent dans les rapides à leur arrivée en octobre 1641. L'île Whitefish est un lieu de rassemblement traditionnel dans le secteur supérieur des Grands Lacs. Le village accueille des activités culturelles comme des pow-wows, des cérémonies réligieuses et des festivités saisonnières. Il y a aussi un cimetière sur l'île. Les descendants des Anishnabes vivent dans des abris en rondins jusqu'en 1902. Des fouilles archéologiques réalisées en 1976 ont permis de mettre au jour des vestiges du village historique. |
