Description: This article, published in Indian Notes v.6 no. 2, tells the story of the Kitiganzibiwinniwag. It hypothesizes that the Anicinabek fled part of their ancestral territory around the 16th century to escape Haudenosaunee warriors and the disruptions caused by colonization. Its author even writes that the Kitigan Zibi chief recalled hearing of a time long ago when the Anicinabek lived near "tagenabo" (salt water): "Buckshot speaks of tradition ascribing the early life, even the creation of the Algonquin nation far down the St. Lawrence where the water was salt and the land unhealthful, causing the death of many of the people."
