Notes

An historical work that reconstructs the lives and perspectives of Mississauga (Ojibwe) individuals in 19th-century Canada using archival records, missionary accounts, and oral traditions.

The book focuses on how members of the Ojibwe—particularly the Mississauga communities in what is now southern Ontario—experienced major changes brought by colonization, land loss, Christianity, and shifting government policies. Rather than treating Indigenous people as background figures in settler history, it foregrounds their voices and agency through biographies and case studies.
