There’s a lighthouse down the road a ways ( waves hand ) over that way a battle took place
that lighthouse is called
Iroquois Point lighthouse
The battle of Iroquois Point was not a minor skirmish, it was a turning point in Ojibway history
it was to us what Waterloo was to the nations who stopped the encroachments of Napoleon
Iroquois Point and the lighthouse that sits on it today were named after a battle that was fought on the spot in 1662. The victors, as is usually the case, chose the name for this battle, instead of naming the battle after its locale, as is the western tradition, they chose the name of the vanquished as the name for the battle that subsequently also became the name for the location. in the language, the Ojibwe called Point Iroquois
Nau-do-we-e-gun-ing,
which means
“Place of the Iroquois Bones”
A fur trader from Sault Ste. Marie observed human bones and skulls still visible on the beach at Point Iroquois in the late 1700s.
the Iroquois came to kill and claim everything as thiers
is that not the same as what Carol Baker speaks of
We were the first to defeat the Iroquois, who to the number of a hundred warriors came to take possession of our villages. Hearing of the enemy’s march
fifty Ojibwe went to meet them.
They united and formed a circle around the camp of the Iroquois… They entered the camp during a shower of rain, near dawn. Not a soul was awake to give the alarm; and every Iroquois was put to death except two. The two saved were furnished a canoe, and told to go and inform their relatives of the result, and to tell them never again to venture into the Chippewa country.
