documented fact of the Ojibwe in the area is the story of Polly Lee, a young woman who was to marry a resident of the neighboring Algonquin clan. As the daughter of the chieftain known as "Handsome Jack," this was a marriage of prestige and the Youngs were invited as the local white heads of the clan.
