The third photograph on this page is of Elijah Sahguhcheway, the son of William and Mahwahsemooqua White (birth name: Muhkoosid, BEAR'S FOOT) of Walpole Island. He arrived at Shingwauk on August 9, 1874. Elijah belonged to the Ojibway tribe and the Church of England. At the time of his arrival Elijah was without skills in English, but over the course of his three years at Shingwauk he made considerable progress in his studies. Elijah left Shingwauk in July of 1880. One year later, on May 29, 1881, Elijah died at his home on Walpole Island.
