Ojibbeway Camp
“Ojibbeway Camp," Southeastern Ojibway
Paul Kane (1810 Mallow, Ireland–1871 Toronto, Canada)
"Previous to entering the bay of Manetouawning, we put ashore on one of the Spider islands, to escape from a heavy shower, where we found a single lodge. A woman and her two children were there, but the men were off in the distance fishing, which is the principal occupation of the Indians hereabouts in summer, there being very little game, except occasionally a bear or deer, and, at particular seasons, ducks. The afternoon being clear, I had a fine view of the La Cloche Mountains, and spent the remainder of the evening in sketching." (Paul Kane, "Wanderings of an Artist," 1859:9–10)
