Where they came from is a mystery. They were here when the new world was discovered. The beautiful waters of the lakes and the rivers were their highways, over which they glided in their frail canoes. The great forests were their hunting grounds, where they followed the zig-zag trails, in search of shy bird and beast to satisfy their hunger. From the carefully preserved records of the earliest pioneer missionaries and explorers, we learn many very interesting facts concerning them. These visitors found them living in their wigwams and lodges of skin and bark. Their homes were rude in design and construction, yet they satisfied the simple necessities of a primitive people. The wigwams were small, while the lodges were large and roomy, well lined and carpeted with fur rugs and rush mats.
