On page 173 of the volume, there is an article by Frederick Johnson titled "The Algonquin at Golden Lake, Ontario." It provides a general overview of the community of Pikwakanagan, which at that time had 164 members.
Johnson reccounts that families from the community have used Pikwakanagan as a summer headquarter for "several centuries." He notes that their proximity to the "Nottawe" (Haudenosaunee) influenced their crafts: "the cradle-board and some of the ash-splint baskets correspond closely to the type found among the Iroquois."
