Traditional, territorial lands, often based on watersheds have been inhabited for thousands of Indigenous communities and have spiritual customs and beliefs for entering the afterlife.
Settlement Graves A gravestone is defined as any stone marker that is used to identify and commemorate the burial site of an individual or individuals. These stones are also sometimes referred to as headstones, tombstones, or markers. There is a commemorative plot on the way to Sandy Beach on the shoreline of Lake Superior called the Mackenzie-Bethune Cemetery.“Louisa Mackenzie is the top of my list for people I want to chat with when that time-machine finally gets invented! I have not confirmed this but I feel like it is certainly a contender as one of the oldest headstones in northern Ontario. You would be the expert on that with all your wanderings to fascinating places over the years.
One of the points of interest in this cemetery, a resting place for frontier settlers, including Louisa Mackenzie - great grandmother of Dr. Norman Bethune and cousin of explorer Sir Alexander Mackenzie; some well-known surnames within Canadian history. Louisa is the daughter of Roderick Mackenzie and a Chipewyan woman. Roderick was first cousin of the explorer Alexander Mackenzie, the first European tocross North America.
Scott Cheadle is with the Silver Islet Campers Association . “The cemetery is actually within the boundaries of the provincial park so is outside the "jurisdiction" of the Silver Islet Campers Association. We were incorporated in 1968 but were an active community organization for decades before that and I am happy to say that our membership includes the vast majority of property owners at Silver Islet.
Bruce Mines For this final reference you will have to go inside the Bruce Mines & District Museum, located east of Sault Ste. Marie. “When mining slowed at Bruce, the Cornish miners moved on to where the work was - some to the Silver Islet mine and some to Michigan. There are stories where some remained and took up land grants. One story recorded is of those early farmers who sent potatoes from nearby Rydal Bank to the mining camp at Silver Islet.”
