Last summer, when the hunters returned to the reserve, Chief Simon Otjik, acting under my instructions, visited each Indian residence and had the sanitary regulations of the Department enforced by causing using the removal of all deleterious substances from proximity to the dwellings, and by having the premises cleaned. The Indians were at the same time informed that they would be furnished with lime for white-washing. A great many availed themselves of the offer, and whitewashed their dwellings. Last August, when the Baskatong Indians were here to attend the annual festival, I had eighty three members of the band vaccinated. This summer I propose to have all requiring the operation vaccinated. At a council meeting held last September, the band appropriated $1,000 out of their funds for public works on the reserve. Among these is a proposed new bridge over the Bitobee Creek, the one now in use having become unsafe for travel. This bridge, which will cost $500, is under contract to Chief Simon Otjik.

• ******************************************************** The Anishinabeg, the first occupants of the Hare par Luc Coursol by Luc Coursol

Depuis plus de 6 000 ans, les Anishinàbeg parcourent la forêt boréale au nord de l'Outaouais durant l'hiver. For more than 6 000 years, Anishinabeg roam the boreal forest north of Ottawa in the winter. Ces chasseurs nomades y attrapent les jeunes orignaux et les jeunes chevreuils en les épuisant dans la neige. These nomadic hunters to catch the young moose and deer in the youth exhausting in the snow. Ils en tirent nourriture, vêtements et outils. They take food, clothing and tools. Fins observateurs de la nature, ils se tiennent aux aguets près des rapides où le gibier vient boire en hiver; la légende du rapide de l'Orignal remonte à cette lointaine époque. Observers of nature, they stand guard near the rapids where the game comes to drink in winter, the legend of the rapid Moose goes back to that distant time.

En expédition sur l'Outaouais en 1613, Champlain y identifie 10 sous-nations anishinàbeg qu'il surnomme Algoumequins (Ceux qui dansent). Expedition on the Ottawa River in 1613, Champlain identifies 10 sub-nations that called Anishinabeg Algoumequins (Those who dance). Associée aux rivières Rouge, du Lièvre et Gatineau, la sous-nation du Chevreuil (les Weskarinis) entre alors dans les livres d'histoire. Associated with the Red River and Gatineau Lièvre, the sub-nation of Chevreuil (the Weskarinis) then enters the history books. A la demande des Européens, ces derniers augmentent sensiblement leurs prises de castors; par la Lièvre (la Wàbòz sibi), les fourrures sont acheminées au poste de traite de Oka et à celui de Notre-Dame-du-Laus plus tard. At the request of the Europeans, they significantly increase their catch beaver; by Hare (the Wàbòz sibi), furs are sent to the post of Oka and that of Notre-Dame-du-Laus later. Ces postes offrent fusils, pièges, filets de pêche, chaudrons et farine pour la longue saison de trappe hivernale. These posts offer guns, traps, fishing nets, pots and flour for the long winter trapping season. La Lièvre de l'époque est divisée en 20 territoires de chasse, chacun confié par hérédité à une famille anishinàbe, Odjick, Twenish, Commanda, Shishib, Kaponichin, Pysanne, Jacko, Natawesi, Chabot, Brascoupe, Ottawa. The Hare of the time is divided into 20 hunting grounds, each given by a family heredity Anishinabe, Odjick, Twenish, Commanda, Shishib, Kaponichin, Pysanne, Jacko, Natawesi, Chabot, Brascoupe, Ottawa. Une famille comprend grands-parents, parents, enfants, fils mariés avec brus et petits-enfants; si l'une des épouses est Mohawk, il faut ajouter père, frères et parfois oncles de celle-ci. A family includes grandparents, parents, children, son brus married with children and grandchildren if one of the wives is Mohawk, add father, brothers and uncles sometimes thereof. Un convoi familial sur la Wàbòz sibi ou la Kiamika sibi compte entre trois et huit canots où prennent place jusqu'à 20 personnes avec provisions, chiens et traîneaux. A convoy on the family or Wàbòz sibi sibi Kiamika has between three and eight boats which take up to 20 people with provisions, dogs and sleds.

Longtemps regroupés avec les Mohawks et les Nipissings à Oka durant la saison estivale des mariages, les Anishinàbeg acceptent mal les efforts d'assimilation des Sulpiciens, les seigneurs du lac des Deux-Montagnes. Long grouped with the Mohawk and Nipissing Oka during the summer season of weddings, Anishinabeg accept evil efforts Assimilation Sulpicians, lords of Lake of Two Mountains. Tour à tour, à compter du XIXe siècle, ils quittent définitivement l'endroit pour diverses rivières en Ontario. Alternately, from the nineteenth century, they finally leave the place for various rivers in Ontario. Ceux de la rivière du Lièvre, se regroupent au Wabassee, un lieu de rassemblement depuis des temps immémoriaux. Those of the Lièvre River, to groups Wabassee, a gathering place since time immemorial. Ceux de la Gatineau obtiennent, en 1851, que le gouvernement leur réserve un territoire à l'embouchure de la rivière Désert où ils piègent l'esturgeon depuis plus de 5 siècles. Those of Gatineau get in 1851 that the government reserves a territory at the mouth of the River Desert where they trap the sturgeon for over 5 centuries.

Sur la Wàbòz sibi, la montée des forestiers et des colons défricheurs vient bientôt perturber le mode de vie ancestrale des chasseurs du Wabassee. On the Wàbòz sibi, increasing forest pioneers and settlers coming soon disrupt the lifestyle of ancient hunters Wabassee. Quelques familles quittent pour l'Abibiti et la Haute-Mauricie. Some families leave for Abibiti and Haute-Mauricie. La majorité suivra Simon Odjick et son épouse mohawk Elisabeth Jacobs-Décontie qui rejoignent le territoire de Kitigan sibi sur la Gatineau, en 1870; quatre ans plus tard, Simon Odjick est élu chef de cette communauté comme son père Basil l'était à Oka. The majority follow Odjick Simon and his wife Elisabeth Jacobs Mohawk-decontamination joining territory Kitigan sibi in Gatineau in 1870, four years later, Simon Odjick is elected leader of this community as his father Basil was at Oka. Au cours des décennies suivantes jusqu'à nos jours, les premiers occupants de la Wàbòz sibi marqueront la vie de leur nouvelle communauté; plusieurs chefs, Odjick, Chabot, Commanda, Brascoupe et Whiteduck sont de fiers descendants des Anishinàbeg de la rivière du Grand-Lièvre. During the following decades until today, the first occupants of the Wàbòz sibi mark the new life of their community heads, Odjick, Chabot, Commanda, Brascoupe and Whiteduck are proud descendants of Anishinabeg the Grand River hare.
