"Whitefish Lake Ojibway Memories is a carefully researched effort to recover and retain the history of the Whitefish Lake Ojibway Band for their children and their children's children. It is a well documented record of the band back to the year 1650. Pottery shards, stone tools and weapon heads indicate, however, that long before white contact, the Band resided on the present reserve and its traditional territory which is now divided up into the 120 surrounding townships. Formal research from archives, the Hudson's Bay Company and the Department of Indian Affairs has been further enriched by the contributions and memories of the Elders with respect to customs, beliefs, lifestyle and rituals.

The Whitefish Lake Ojibway Band consists of approximately three hundred people and twenty major families with names which have changed little since the treaty lists of the 1820's. Although in close proximity to the city of Sudbury, the Band lives on a wooded reserve of 43,000 acres, where they have retained their identity and independence."--Book jacket.
