halton it includes eight thriving municipalities five towns ranging in population from 4000 to 40000 numer out quaint old villages and new rowonrow sub divisions a portion of the niagara escarpment the residents call the mountain two fine large creeks pouring water from the headlands into the lake homes business and commerce industries and farmlands its a picturesque county with centuries of in teretfflfghlstory now covered over by millions of dollare worth of development yet here and there untouched by the growth of a natlonwe find rare places of unspoiled nature where searchers may find the peace and solitude which contrast so with our everyday life halton s progress over the past 50 years and especially the past 10 has been fast and furious hardly a detail has been missed as this once agrkul tural communilythrives and booms and makes a name for itself from coast to coast yet one detail has been missed one very impor tant part of our livingpast and presenthas been left out of the wondwful picture of halton for the county is- without a suitable museum to jet i the people of tomorrow about the people of yeswday and their struggle which laid the groundwork for todays prosperous boom of civilization there are at oakville and burlington museums of sorts which tell of the early days in those areas but what of the rest of the county is an unkempt four by six glass case covered in dust and hiding in the lobby of the milton court house sufflclont to fmi in the details of v wonderful story noone seems capable of telling or could there be a movement begun imrrmdl- atelyeven today- to establish a complete museum of halton history and there could be according to a young man who lives in georgetown willing to donate john mkhie is a mhn who has spentjhe spare time of the last 20 years of his life developing the most interesting presentation of the early indian life in this part of the country he is willing to donate this slice of his life to a county museum john s collection of rare indian artifacts his writings about the indian times before the white man invaded halton and his uncanny knack for presenting this story to a listener are treasures awaiting the establishment of this necessary facet of our heritage but who could start a museum county council conservation authority women s institutes an unformed as yel historical society this is a ques tlon yet to be answered let us suffice to say action is needed and now john s collection of indian artrfacts which he personally dug up from ruins of indjan villages right here in halton county are a priceless start to the museum add to this the many dormant antique collections lhat lie in basements allies garages and storerooms across the county and the few articles now on display commercially and privately here and there on the map and a museum is bornl history pieted together according to john michie learning the history of halton through ihe w00 s isn t easy during that period jesuit missionaries from france lived with the indians in this area and made monthly reports which were sent to montreal whenever a runner was going that way they sat in montreal until a boat was going to france and il sometimes took two years from ihe time of writing lor the reports to reach france uttw to the rottoh amevwaam wwtwi3s abuse from caretaker thefts disgust visitor to acton park toronto

and k with much reading and a lot of supposition and fitting together of the little pleom john is now fairly well informed of the 17th century of the area here then is hit idea of ihe county i early days it it believed that the jesuits might have stood on the niagara escarpment here in the year 1621 they tell of standing on a mountain and looking toward the large body of water presumed to be lake ontario champlaln here il is even possible that the great explorer samuel champlam might once have pasted through halton the huron tribes located north of orlllia to mid land reportedly held champlam as hostage one winter the route of his flight south to the united states and his return trip back are not detinue but he may have passed this way in 1627 a jesuit missionary wrote of a neutral branch of the iroquois tribe living in this district under a chief named sauhorlssen he was the leader over 28 villages and did war with many tribes john says he is supposed to have waged war with 17 nations of indians but finds it hard to believe after 1627 another jesuit listed 23 towns bet ween toronto and guelph but this appears to be all ihe available history of the local district john himself has found 14 camps in a five mile radius right here in halton location of course is not being made public to keep the relic hunters away these people according to john rm not true archaeologists but go rustling into a buried camp dig hero and there unearth some treasures and leave a mess behind them duns change ufa the indians in this area were supposedly friend ly neutral indians along the shores of lake ontario were the aatssissauges who were primarily fisher men and very quiet tribes along the north shore of lake erie were the neutral indians who produced the flint jn quarries and traded with other tribes for many miles around things remained fairly peaceful and quiet until the english dutch and french arrived with guns then in 50 years the indian developed from the stone age man

something lo make life interesting in 1649 16000 iroquois of the five nations district south of lakes ontario and erie became weakened by imallpox and other european dis eases on december 7 they attacked the huron at st jean near colllngwood and destroyed it they spent ihe remainder of the winter with the neutrals of this district then in early spring led llieir otlick on the north again and wiped out mosl of tho petuns join local band some of the hurons who had escaped the winter slaughter pushed south and joined with the neutrals of this area when the iroquois returned lo the southern section of ontario to wipe out ovary tribe ihe petun survivors from the north joined the local bands and fled south to the straits of mlchlhmacki nee from here on the fata of those indians who inhabited halton is sketchy because they split up and travelled far and wide some headed for green bay wisconsin and a jesuit mission was set up there some in 1653 joined a band of algonqums and wintered south of sault sfe mane a fugitive band of neutrals made an alliance wllh ihe ottawa and went up the same route the petuns and ottawas arrived near bayfield wisconsin and organized an expedition against their sioux neighbours bur- the sioux counlry was full of lakes and marshes and when 3 000 sioux surrounded the invaders only one man escaped those who stayed behind on the raid returned to the isle of mackinaw moved to the mainland and built a fort and village from which explorers marquette anovjolielte sat out to discover the missis stppl eventually ell these indians became known ns wyandottes and ended up in kansas in 1761 some petuns joined an alliance and in 1842 all surviving petuns were rounded up and settled in kansas reservations burned in mldlfloos where the local neutral indians ended up is hard lo say all lhat remain of ihtlr early days here in halton are the burnud out village sites destroyed by the ravaging liutiuois one enmp lound by this
