others, often in the company of nearby cottagers, were more adventurous. The kitchen staff packed luncheon hampers for guests who wanted to bask on sheltered rocks or explore the wilder, outer side of Georgian Bay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435674915556-9HZA23SPPRQ5N417DL37/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435674439242-3QODXHHEZ91T6I7XRCWW/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435585905992-O1PAX9WQ613JO1VD2NGN/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435333064449-06LI9IP6XTJWYIPOHYRQ/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435333319037-JDX79C78N95KWBAJNEKY/Shore-lunchR.jpg Chapter One It wasn’t cordon bleu, but for true Georgian Bayers, there was nothing better than freshly caught bass, some butter, a fire and a frying pan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435333602466-Y782KHGZBTNIFFHQF6UX/Four+in+canoeR.jpg Chapter One Versatile, reliable, graceful, the canoe could be used for pleasure or for work, although which one this is, is anyone’s guess. A tradition inherited from the First Nations and from the voyageurs, the ability to handle a canoe properly was essential to summer life at the Ojibway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435333614670-XI9JAWKHPJTIZHYTDBBZ/Parasol+womenR.jpg Chapter One The beauty of a summer at the Ojibway was its combination of graciousness and plain old fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435333633095-VRX34B3KH5OTM3AU3PK5/Helping+handR.jpg Chapter One Whether an outing called for long dresses, sun hats, parasols and a “Kodak,” or simply rolled trousers, a friend and a frog pond, the hotel catered to both excursion styles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435586806956-8XV2059GCHV9C0OUKQLJ/Helen+DavisR.jpg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422461647470-6XXOUX4JUSKFCV8MSINT/image-asset.png Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435675476569-7YJL57EP9FTBF2B2QI2X/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One Whether it was while sailing races were getting underway, steamers were landing, the regatta was being organized, or fishing guides were meeting their customers, the Ojibway dock was the centre of activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435584674466-MLE2PP1LS0DNG3NTXA5J/image-asset.png Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435586032182-7GDMAHZLE8A2LMGBL8EU/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422459785543-FBJAEOGU4QUQONFJ0A50/41877_06bluerwater.jpg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435674605773-BHECRKRNQE4Y2GCB86BO/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422476544679-FEPMN7AB01G7CWMAEEZW/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One The hotel’s launch, the Royaleze took guests for stylish excursions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435673219755-S3XBVYNWLAMU0S0A3ODL/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One After the hotel’s second expansion, in 1913, life in the lounge remained unchanged for decades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422462483688-SCMSP6RECTO0IPH1FR51/92_640.jpg Chapter One Hamilton Davis envisioned a place that was a centre for islanders as well as for guests. He encouraged cottagers to use the Ojibway’s facilities, and the tradition continues: islanders’ boats have always been welcome at the Ojibway dock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422477432228-Z7FSVSCAAUQF322CM2RW/The-Ojibway-00132.jpg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435676005515-PBAM15BSDFFDP6KY7BKF/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435585484926-4B7LWWSP9EU6H3O27XB9/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435586690185-645PG8LRBMU100GD4SVU/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422476529174-QDO6EBYYZFQ9JDH838P9/Bert-at-pumpR.jpg Chapter One Bert Bruckland ruled the dock with a firm, genial hand. He was, for many, the personification of an Ojibway summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435675602408-43MSNWG4NZV0NJ815NF8/XIX+282-283+A.jpg Chapter One Almost as much lumber must have gone into the wharf as into the original Ojibway House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435675607748-CZAS8G1TC4Z5DMDJZGKW/80_640.jpg Chapter One Fire escape methods were basic but, fortunately for the un-athletic, never used in earnest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435675616728-M32HHTZK7NLV2EH83UI0/Christine+NaganoshR.jpg Chapter One Guests remembered pretty Christine Nogonosh, an Ojibway girl, quietly drifting through the dining room, filling water goblets and assisting waitresses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435673872911-WZAOCCD3054MXKCHFCIR/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One Hamilton C. Davis, the founder of the Ojibway Hotel, was an unmistakable figure in Pointe au Baril summer life. He was, says cottager Tom Symons, “a gentleman in his comportment, his values, his way of treating people. That became the hallmark of the Ojibway.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435586190338-UHVV3C7LYQXF7UWY8VRF/image-asset.jpeg Chapter One The Ojibway was sometimes busy, sometimes bustling. On regatta days, it was even crowded.

But Hamilton Davis knew that his hotel had to appeal to fishermen, even the younger ones, and non-fishermen alike. Picnics and berry-picking outings were also popular. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435596266918-MPUD07YHAJZXD99XPJBL/09_640.jpg Chapter Two By 1910, travelling north by train was convenient and comfortable.

For 25 of the 30 years of their married life, they shared the responsibilities of running a busy summer hotel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435857992799-JDYOZ2NS3FCC6YV6H5RK/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435690224642-TDJD98V0CGLQHK0FVFD1/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435695904419-I5LUBONAQT50DK4NSW7W/Languid-holidayR-DUO.jpg Chapter Four By the time the slow, leisurely holidays, on which the Ojibway had built its reputation, were becoming a thing of the past, the hotel’s buildings were aging and becoming more dependent on constant repair. A case in point was its grocery store (above), anchored by chains to prevent it from falling into the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435689904434-BXNTLS6NX0QE6W20YFYC/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435693320817-2HT5K81GFHDN5NOIVYGV/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435695284101-NGZ1DHBML1HF7JYGF2JM/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, shares were issued to finance the ongoing operations of the hotel. This had more to do with fundraising than with investment, for there were certainly more profitable ventures than a big old resort. But the islanders wanted the Ojibway to continue to be run as always. None of the investors expected to make any money. And, as a matter of fact, they didn’t. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435689421669-7XN4B10NW2T051DYCEDZ/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435690331287-6AMHJBQM3ZOVHBTHDS0Z/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four Honeymooners Cleveland Thurber Jr. and Elizabeth Mary Hamilton, married in June 1940, availed of one of the romantic “tower rooms” of the Ojibway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435691466010-09OYF9BNHS7UGZDXRPV8/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435858383738-WE6AIJYGOY9HTLK1G5W3/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four The Ojibway’s creaking staircases, wooden floors, shadowy corners, high, mysterious-looking windows and Claude Bragdon’s striking tower have always been the perfect setting for Georgian Bay ghost stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435689325424-3ROE2GB6GT84U46HZMCV/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435696207369-WXJJ62RG4YLWBW9K9S31/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435693646983-GMKG7NQCCFDENYOHB41W/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Four In 1942, Hamilton Davis wrote a postcard to his niece, Frances Davis, telling her he had sold the hotel that he loved so much.

The image on the postcard (left) was intended to be that of Arrowmaker, a character in the Longfellow poem The Song of Hiawatha.

No one knew the area like the guides. They often worked with the same families year after year. Some clients and guides developed lasting friendships based on these annual outings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435599515521-V7FLU310T1S3D7BG7UHP/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three Once hotel guests had settled in, they were invited to explore local channels and islands in one of the Ojibway’s comfortable launches (left), featuring cushioned seats and elegant awnings which protected fair complexions from the sun. More adventurous guests could ply the waters on their own, enjoying the majestic scenery of Georgian Bay from the less-shaded and not-quite-so-comfortable seats of one of the hotel’s rowboats (top). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435600085480-CQN9SMCUFNCFH8UXK1KI/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435604650413-XHAL2RMJAT7SXHKGM1MG/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435602720707-4W6U2AVCZJ2Q6VMDJDR6/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435600150997-746I4RRUHJTFUL0G0TSX/The+Ojibway-00034.jpg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435604982449-9PRIMMAV92I7KTKAUQZU/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435599965770-JQJ9GV9TXIEKBKBO4TU8/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435602569353-7QPP8XGMSL9QIXQPJKRV/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435601708127-VU5R456JCK2G76NOT5QX/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435602249738-WH4ZMI1P1X6565FMY11D/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435601111594-6CN08C48OY6XWO74DBV5/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435601746937-VMS918BUIE7JYC8MI8T5/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three Harry Symons’s delightful memoir, Ojibway Melody, published in 1946, captures the spirit of old-fashioned Pointe au Baril summers. In 1947, it won the Stephen Leacock Prize for humour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435604635397-OQHO2YC55VDIGNEQ4T49/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three The rocks and shoals of Georgian Bay ensured that Albert Desmasdon (above, between two bellhops, and at work, below) was always busy repairing engines and replacing broken propellers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435600815614-04G95B1XUU01BYPU489I/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435601083410-27YYN894AOKZTWFJY08N/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435604969095-CTBTW2I4YQTEC58V3IWM/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435600769528-00JTXGKIDFQCOS1LTFKS/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605857103-KCZRUX8K6AH48BC1L9TD/CatchR.jpg Chapter Three “Caught near Ojibway Island” – so Hamilton Davis wrote on the back of this photograph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605942649-YK245KDV34REPV88G2UW/MuskeylungeR.jpg Chapter Three Fishing guide Frank Pegahmagabow, seen here with hotel guest Ted Stevenson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605904835-SWSKXLU1A5ZIQB9NGFIP/Fishing+boatR.jpg Chapter Three The guides chose their fishing spots after carefully observing the wind and the weather: “There were all kinds of things you’d look at before you went out.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605898072-3CVA8FIFVW3FTDBX6AWK/Fish+womanR.jpg Chapter Three Cook’s bounty on the dock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605842952-D1VJCQL2XHAW9LQ5R2HU/3-Fishing-AlexMichaud.jpg Chapter Three A highlight of every fishing expedition was the famous shore lunch: beans, potatoes, freshly baked blueberry pie and a pot of hot coffee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605979722-5DFH34BCB3I2ONG3JUOT/MuskeyR.jpg Chapter Three A particularly admirable catch – such as this 30-pound muskellunge, caught in 1934 – deserved to be displayed and photographed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605871151-L0ML9HNRFHG9JNMCNGF9/RoseyboatR.jpg Chapter Three A hotel launch took guests out for the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605878105-PXRQQ4V22HNJQOQVL0IV/3-Fishing-RuthMcQuaig.jpg Chapter Three A young guest with his prize caught off the dock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435605914098-74R11BVSUOLVP2UGPVK2/Fishing+groupR.jpg Chapter Three The day’s catch, lined up, looked mighty impressive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435601072039-X3H5IIMI7LG93UJJQERS/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435598740988-CI44VV9HZ7GAOXKIJTH6/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435601898666-76ZZSPIZT54QFYQITI5C/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three For those who were not fishing enthusiasts, the Ojibway’s veranda was the place to pass the tranquil hours of hotel life. Books were read there, letters were composed, diaries were kept up to date. There was a view of the water, cover from the sun and the rain, and on chilly days a fire was always crackling cheerfully in the big stone fireplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435604938285-0SU0ZX5FJLVPXR1FE62R/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435600725360-J1INJK337BZEI23G6VIA/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435600452110-TBL6DMLJ5CX7C1J4H95W/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435599904685-FDH6JNX3G867JW1G1OL5/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three Guests often came to the Ojibway in groups of old friends from the city, or else found new company at the hotel. Either way, the same parties were inclined to return for the summer, year after year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435602701497-I3526CHIZKMTNHKL2NDQ/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three Live bait, lures, rods, reels and line were always available at the Ojibway store for guests and islanders alike. But it was the guests who competed for the coveted hotel fishing trophies. They were presented with fanfare – for the biggest catch of the week and of the season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435604953130-JZHRNHGMMMN1C9VU6D7E/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422478247981-22CIR6C6VP3LRVHY7IKR/Highest-pointR.jpg Chapter Three http://ohps.ca/the-ohps-board daily 0.75 2025-11-05 http://ohps.ca/donate daily 0.75 2025-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1422479946141-U4OZRVETIILKHV13YRJI/78_640.jpg Donate http://ohps.ca/chapter-five daily 0.75 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435867733670-FLWBNW2KRP1J2JFT6L82/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435865789087-A5YJMXAP11WAIZ3JW6JW/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435863010776-QQCKHE4M8DSNXE34QSOZ/32_640.jpg Chapter Five Plaques with the names of regatta winners line the walls along the Ojibway’s main staircase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435864272525-1BKEVVIM2G0IMY95HOPM/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435866717623-ECLZBIEUUJ955WGWSC34/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435868643671-NQ1R2RV41KL7DJFABLM2/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435866615240-0FST4EUX7J075C8KG895/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five Holidays at Pointe au Baril and at the Ojibway were not fast paced and not crowded with events.

Later, the hotel’s gift shop, located in the tower, boasted a more sophisticated inventory. The hotel’s butcher provided islanders with their favourite cuts of meat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435863935868-9RGONDMJY6YI2YOTK0QW/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five A hundred years after Hamilton Davis opened the Ojibway for business, the myriad boats that regularly tie up to its dock are testament to the hotel’s continued popularity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1436189925088-BRC9IE2TM3NX136QSTLQ/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1436192085787-UPN7L69LFDBWARWBY1HL/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1436191560722-3PVG9KZRDHYOH36WE9WM/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435866702596-QX0G6C9EHUQW6K489C9M/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1436192559932-59V6HKOCXPOK85LGB245/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five The Ojibway’s swimming, sailing, boating and tennis program steadily grew until, by the 1980s, a daily camp and a full-scale recreation program was in place. The program was a success, ensuring that the Ojibway continued to be the centre of activity, from dawn to dusk, for the next generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c69cfce4b0f8fbaf03b5d5/1435863546905-IQE1MKJ86AXR0ILX8E9H/image-asset.jpeg Chapter Five For the first 60 years of its existence, the Ojibway kept its focus on fishing. No other activity came close in importance. Until well into the 1960s, knowledgeable fishing guides who knew the shoals and bays of the area like the back of their hands were a critical part of the hotel’s daily life.
