West Bay - M'Chigeeng First Nation

 

Location:  Manitoulin Island  N 45 49.542  W 082 09.663
On the east side of Highway 551, near the Administrative Offices.

 

This location was originally posted in January 2013, but due to photo issues, I am re-posting again.

The home of the M"Chigeeng First Nations band, also known as the village of West Bay, proudly displays a memorial to all those from this community who died in battle.  No dates or wars are mentioned on the memorial, simply the words "Take time to Remember", the names of the dead, and a few decorative poppies.  A tremendous sacrifice was made by our First Nations people in times of war, a story which needs to be told in greater detail.
