Jennie, If you are using the information, in the history section of this website, regarding the indigenous people of the area, it is not correct.
Bancroft is in the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Nation. The Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini band has been here since time immemorial.
Please contact the Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini Algonquin Nation Land Claim office for information. noreentinney@gmail.com
I was confused reading the history of Bancroft as i thought it was the Algonquin Peoples who traversed this landscape. I think it is imperative at this time that we acknowledge the history and the traditional peoples of this land clearly and provide a richer depth to their role in this story. Doing research on this area i have found that there is little mention of pre settler times and activity on these lands and would love to see more accurate accounts portrayed in these narratives or t the very least have the correct information with a link to other organizations that represent this demographic of peoples. Thank you.
This is a very attractive and well-constructed website. (Although I think it is important that you verify what was written about the indigenous people — see someone’s comment, above). Idly browsing through possible places to rent a cottage this summer, your website has made me much more inclined to choose the Bancroft area. Congratulations to your business association for having had constructed this professional and useful website. Sarah in Ottawa.
We visited Bancroft’s Princess Sodalite Mine last Friday and made a video of it. You can see the video at https://youtu.be/IswGlQ9AlJo.
