Local: Sudbury History - Native Indians
The earliest recorded Indian habitation of the area is 6,000 to 7,000
BC, based on an excavation on Manitoulin Island where quartzite tools
and weapons were found. More recently, early Woodland Indians inhabited
the area around 225 BC.
By the time the first explorers arrived, the Algonquin, Chippewa and
Ojibway tribes had settled into the area along the French River between
Lake Huron and the Ottawa River. Studies of native customs and language
indicate that the Algonquins had lived with the Crees and then migrated
eastwards until they met the Iroquois.
