History Biographical: 

Chief Shingwaukonse (1773-1854), also known as Chief Shingwauk and Little Pine, was a chief of the Garden River Ojibways. Shingwauk, was born south of Lake Superior and moved to Garden River Ontario in 1836. He rose to prominence fighting in the war of 1812.

In 1935, he converted to the Church of England, as did two of his sons, Augustine and Buhkwujjenene. However, Native beliefs continued to inform his life. Shingwaukonse traveled in 1832 to York to petition Sir John Colborne , lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, for a school for his people.

From 1827-1854 he developed a new native rights and self-determination strategy which envisioned "Teaching Wigwams" throughout Anishnabek lands to provide an European style education. His vision was carried on by his sons, Augustin (1800-1890), Buhkwujjenene (1811-1900), John Askin (1863-1919), and George Menissino (1839-1923).

In his later years Shingwaukonse became a leading advocate of Native resource rights, including access to revenues from mining and logging on Aboriginal lands.

Scope Content: 

Collection consists of photographs focusing on the period prior to Reverend E.F. Wilson's arrival in Sault Ste Marie. Collection includes photographs of the Pine family.

Reproduction created by Prof. Don Jackson  Previously known as P1.SHI.0.3.

After the war of 1812 many missionaries of different faiths travelled throughout the region each approaching Shingwaukonse, attempting to convince him that his people should follow their religion.  A tribal council sent Shingwaukonse to York (Toronto) to ask Sir John Colborne, the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada what religion the King practiced.  Colborne advised them that since the King was Anglican the Ojibwes should follow the Church of England.  In 1832 he sent an Anglican priest, Rev. McMurry to establish a church, St. John's at Garden River.
