Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Papers and Records, Vol. 6 Paudash, son of Paudash, son of Cheneebeesh, son of Gemoaghpenassee, to the Ontario Historical Society: I, Robert Paudash, with my son Johnson Paudash, am desirous of putting on record for the first time the solemn tradition of the Mississagas respecting their present place of settlement in Ontario, and the migration which led them thither. No word of what I am about to say has come from reading, or in any other way than from the mouth of Paudash, my father, who died, aged seventy-five, in the year 1893, the last hereditary chief of the tribe of Mississagas, situated at Rice Lake, and from the mouth of Cheneebeesh, my grandfather,, who died in 1869, at the age of 104, the last Sachem, or Head Chief, of all the Mississagas, who in turn had learned, according to the Indian custom, what Gemoaghpenassee, his father, had heard from his father, and so on. I am glad for the sake of the memory of the Mississagas, who were always loyal to the great King, to hear of this revival of interest in the Mississagas, who do not appear in history or in the records on this country as much as they deserve from the importance of their deeds in war, and of their efforts to preserve peace and good-will towards the great King In the first place, as you would know, the Algonkins, who include the Mississagas, inhabited the great northern portion of this continent, excepting the small part which the Iroquois, their deadly enemies, inhabited on the southern shore of the Lake Ontario; while far to the south dwelt the Muskokees. The Mississagas were so named because they settled on a river on the north shore of Lake Huron, about seventy miles from Sault Ste. Marie, the word Mississaga meaning river; but they were Shawnees, part of the great Ojibwa tribe, of which the word Chippeway is a corruption.
