To sing our own broad gleaming lake ! N 4 H I STO R I C AL S K ETC H ES m ER Y few of the peo ple who now spend their summers at the cottages scattered along the mainland and islands of Oliphant , and enjoy them “ " h h of selves o t e waters the immense bright lake , realiz e that these same regions , not so many years ago , presented scenes of a very different the nature , and were homes of races , which are now almost gone ! Whether or not the intrepid , pioneer explorer of Canada , Samuel de Champlain , in his journey of long ago up the Ottawa River , touched on “ ” the eastern shores of the Mer douce des Hurons , no one can now with a certainty say . Or whether the unfortunate yet und unted La Salle , when he made his voyage up Lac Huron in the Griffin , thought of taking shelter at the Islands , on his starboard , from the great storm that - over took him , the historian Father Hennepin does not record . But it is within the limits of the possible f that even yet some day , the wreck of the long lost vessel , with her monster gri fin p row , may be found hidden beneath the sands of our own shores , where so many known wrecks have since sunk into oblivion , and if such should be , we would then surely know that our shores were visited , though in misfortune , by the very early explorers of our country . I N I A C ! P ATI ON f Sau een D N O C Of the days o Indian occupation of the g Peninsula and its Islands , Time and Tradition have left us only a few traces . The first tribe known to have inhabited the region was f “ a band o the Algonquins called the Ottawas , who were here in the sixteenth century , doubtless the Cheveux ” - z u . releve (straight p hair) , mentioned by Champlain Later this tribe gave way to a band of the Ojibway Indians from the Lake Superior district ; and at the same time , at least one tribe of Hurons lived on the " f shore in the beautiful spot known as Red Bay . “In the beginning o the seventeenth century the two tribes fl f came into con ict with each other and in a bloody battle on the shore o this bay , the Hurons killed so many of the Ojibways that their blood colored the water a deep red from whence came the name . 1 Next in turn , in 648 , came the fierce warring tribe of Iroquois , whose ambition it was to possess the w . r hole lower valley of les Grands Lacs The Hurons and Iroquois bore each othe a deadly hatred , and t h e “ - " s was . truggle between the two tribes most bitter It was then that the blood thirsty Mohawk chief, as Pauline Johnson describes , was “ n' Here in the hated Enro s vicious clutch , " That even captive he disdains to t ouch . The in Hurons however proved the weaker in the conflict , and they were completely exterminated this region ; the Iroquois then took possession of a large part of the land . Then began the attacks of these Iroquois upon the Ojibways to the south along the shore as far as the “ " S n so Co wa able and Sa g n Rivers . The Traditional History of the Ojibway Nation , by George p y , relates - that at this time two forces of Ojibways , assisted by allies from Penetanguishene , attacked the Iroquois at the mouth of the Saugeen River and the fierce battle which ensued ended in the total rout of the Iroquois . Those of them who w ere not killed , were driven out of the country to the region south of Lake Erie . The v a l ictorious Ojibways then settled down to live quiet and pe cab e lives , only once taking part in a war , when ’ “ " Tecumseh s brother The Prophet. in 1812 led off a band of braves from this district to fight so nobly at of the side the Great Chief Tecumseh . “The population was augmented shortly after the Treaty of Chicago 1833 Chi ewa P ott awat amie a in , when some of the eleven hundred pp , Ottawa , and Indi ns who migrated from ! . Wisconsin to pper Canada , settled in the Saugeen and Sable lands MANITOWANING TREATY So far the white man had little to do in the history of the region . The B ritish had taken possession of Canada in 1760; ! pper Canada was being opened for settlement ; but it was not until 1836 that any direct attempt was made by the Government to take possession of the Saugeen Peninsula . {II t was in August of that year at Manitowaning , that Sir Francis Bond Head , the Governor of Sau een ! pper Canada , negotiated a treaty with the Ojibway Indians of Manitoulin Island and the g Penin r B sula , for the sale of thei land to the Crown . y this Manitowaning Treaty the territory of Manitoulin ‘ 4 ’ 1 MEET I NG OF TH E ED AN D W H I T A 4 B E B C ES. y» O l bw a C hi f Ad mira H W B ‘ l . a fi ld R .

In return for these lands the Indians were “ ” 1250 . to to receive the sum of £ annually , as long as water ran and g rass grew green We have therefore thank Sir Francis Bond Head for the acquisition of these extensive Indian lands . OLIPHANT TREATY Soon after the Man it owaning Treaty , the government appointed Laurence Oliphant , the well known author , traveller , and private secretary of Lord Elgin , as Superintendent General of Afiair Indian s . It was through his efforts that in 1854 the Oliphant Treaty was negotiated and signed at Sau een g , allowing the government to survey and sell the lands gained by the Manitowaning Treaty . Pre n 184 vio s to this in 7 some of the lands had been surveyed and opened for settlement , but it was not until 1855 the year , at the time of the Rankin Survey , that the townships of Amabel and Albemarle , and the - e town plot of Oliphant , were laid out . The Saugeen Fishing Islands were formally given ov r to the Crown 1885 in , and were surveyed shortly after . The lowering of the water of Lake Huron , however , caused so many changes in the land that a new survey was ordered in 1899 and completed in 1900. This was known e t o . as the James Warren Survey . After this second survey of the Islands most of them w re sold the public HYDROGRAPHIC HISTORY Of the early maps of Lake Huron and the other lakes the better l ’ ’ ’ 16 2 1 6 Ca t ain . known are Champlain s of 3 , Sanson s of 656, and Pere Hennepin s ot 1 83 . {I p W F Owen , R .

On this trip we made five stops along our journey where we noted various geomorphic features and landscapes of the Lake Superior region. We reached the south coast of Lake Superior in Bayfield, Wisconsin at around 10:00am. Here we made our first stop which included the entire boat trip we took which navigated through the various islands in the Apostle Island National Lakeshore. Our second stop was a beach on the shore of Lake Superior where we noted active anthropogenic and environmental changes to a shoreline. Stop three was at the visitor center for the Apostle Island National Lakeshore where we heard a short talk by the resident park ranger as he explained some of the unique features of the islands and why they should be protected. After that we proceeded to our fourth stop which was at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center. Here we learned, through various displays and videos, how the region had been impacted by various events over time. Finally our fifth stop was at the point where the Montreal River emptied into Lake Superior (Figure 1).

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.
