SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1961 Prof. Jury (right) at work. It used to be thought that Ontario hadn't much history, but this is no longer held true at all. On the contrary, there was plenty of history here, only the In- who lacked a language, didn't keep any complete record. So the history dians, written of Ontario is written almost en- tirely underground. Already it than 3.000 archaeological sites in Ontario, is known there are more the vast majority of them totally unex- cavated. Every year, some of these valu- able sites are destroyed by looters or by the march of highways, cities or farms. The oldest known site is at Sheguian- dah, on Manitoulin Island, near Little Current. It is dated at more than 9,000 years -- or about 7.000 B.C. The inhabi- tants of this village are believed to have been whose stone ancestors crossed to Canada via the Bering Straits age men from Russia. N fact, the modern theory is that all the Indian and Eskimo tribes came in that The earlier ones moved down into Central America to found the famous civilizations of the Aztecs and Incas, while the later settled the U.S.A. and Canada. The most recent migration seems to have been that of the Eskimos. One of the great mysteries of Ontario was always the origin of the Iroquois Indians. It used to be thought they came from the U.S.A. and settled m the pro- vince. But diggings at Pickering, near Toronto, by Walter Kenyon, of the Royal Ontario Museum. have recently suggested that the Iroquois may have lived here all the time and that thev Wood. way. ones were the descendants of the early land Indians. The Pickermy site can readily be seen by travellers on High- way No. 2. It's only a mile or so from that road. Another particularly interesting story of Ontario Indians was that of the Neutrals, who originated the "flint bed factories" on the shores of Lake Huron. These were excavated by Dr. Wilfrid Jury, of the University of Western Ontario. He showed that the Neutrals operated some- what as the Swiss do in our modern day. They supplied manufactured goods (flints of all types) to many tribes of Indians and were able to stay out of war because these other tribes needed their handiwork. ONTARIO TODAY Kenyon remodels skull. L Some of the Neutrals' handiwork has been found far away in the southern states of the U.S.A. proving that the In- dians had well-developed trade routes. Dr. Jury has also investigated the his- tory of the Huron Indians who lived in the area of Penetang. These were peace- loving Indians who welcomed the Jesuit fathers when they came to found a mis- sien in Ontario. At this place, called Fort Ste. Marie, the first seeds were gown in 'Ontario, and some of the first livestock imported. But early in the 1600's, the Iroquois attacked the Hurons as well as Fort Ste. Marie. They wiped out the Huron Indians and martyred a number of Jesuit fathers. Today, as a result of archaeology, the sites of all the sections of the old Fort have been relocated and can be seen by tourists. SIDE from the Indians, a great many pioneers leit interesting objects em- bedded in the Ontario soil . . . cannon balls, tools, knives and implements of all kinds. Not long ago the remains of a frigate was towed out of Penetag Bay and is now lodged on the shore at 'the little museum in Penetangueshene--which is itself worth seeing. In exploring for things like these, it's useful to know something of the history of places where you may be vacationing. Library books or historical societies can supply this. In some areas there are trails which pioneers or boatmen used to use, and there are particularly rich in historical treasure trove.
