For centuries, the people have lived not only on Georgina Island but also on Snake Island, another, smaller island located in Lake Simcoe. There they have educated their children, tended crops, gathered medicinal herbs, served in wartime, and built thriving communities. Drawing on a wealth of recorded stories as well as interviews with Elders, Steckley recounts the coming of the people to the islands, their farming ventures, their interactions with the often paternalistic representatives of the federal government, and their fight for self-government. Dozens of photographs bring the history of the people to life, and their stories-often leavened with flashes of humour-demonstrate the community's great and enduring vitality. As -Steckley notes, \"A people's true character comes out in its stories.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Steckley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772443751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772443752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock's Mills Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"John Steckley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965982523647,"sku":"9781772443752","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb29412c-9f87-4b07-8dd0-32665c249392.jpg?v=1767286126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chippewas-of-georgina-island-john-steckley-9781772443752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
