"Chief Island has always been part of the traditional territories of the Chippewas of Lake Simcoe and Huron, as we were referred to, by settlers and the government. The Chippewas of Lake Simcoe and Huron became three separate First Nations after the loss of the Coldwater Narrows Reserve in 1836: Chippewas of Rama First Nation, Chippewas of Beausoleil First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. To this day, we continue to have close ties. The three Nations agreed,
that Rama First Nation would stay behind, to guard the sacred sites on our traditional territory. Rama First Nation purchased the ailing township of Rama. Since First Nations (at the time: “Indian Bands”) could not "own property", due to provisions of the "Indian Act", the land was transferred to the Crown to become a reserve, with the protections (and limitations) that came with that status. Rama First Nation members lived on "Chief Island" for a short time, during the transition to Rama township, in the late 1830’s. The Island is a "sacred place" for our people, with a number of unmarked graves on the island, as well as headstones. These graves include those of warriors who died, in a great battle, on and around the island, between the Ojibwe' and the Mohawks, after the Huron-Wendat Peoples were decimated, by war and disease. Many warriors died, on the island.
