English: Historical Significance
Whitefish Island is a remarkable place. There is an opportunity to explore the trails and learn about the history of the region and the Anishnabe who walked this land. Archaeological studies done on the island in 1976 identified unique plants, flora and fauna and over 100,000 artifacts were recovered such as pottery, tools etc. The collection is presently stored by the Ministry of Culture in Thunder Bay. The study concluded: an unbroken chain of occupation, an ongoing network of trade with other tribes, extensive evidence of net fishing and the involvement in the native copper industry. On April 6, 1982, Whitefish Island was deemed a National Historical Site by Canada by "virtue of its historic remains."

L'île Whitefish est un endroit remarquable. L'exploration des sentiers permet de se renseigner sur l'histoire de la région et des Anishnabes qui ont foulé le sol de cette île. Une étude archéologique effectuée sur l'île en 1976 a permis de relever les particularités de la flore et de la faune, et plus de 100 000 artéfacts, dont des poteries et des outils, ont été mis au jour. La collection est actuellement conservée dans les locaux du ministère de la Culture à Thunder Bay. Conclusion de l'étude : occupation interrompue, réseau permanent de commerce avec les autres tribus, nombreuses observations témoignant de la pratique de la pêcheau filet et participation à l'industrie du cuivre natif. Le 6 avril 1982, l'île est désignée lieu historique national « en vertue de ses vestiges historiques ». |
