A brief history
Chief Michel L’Aigle Dokis or Migisi as he was also known, was an Ojibwa. Famous for being a signatory to the Robinson-Huron treaty of 1850, for creating a pictographic account book to document his commercial activities (extremely rare in North America) and for protecting the primordial forest from timber-men on his reservation. He operated several trading posts in the French River area. A literate and fluent speaker of Ojibwa & French, Dokis was admired by many in both native and European cultures. His honesty, straight forwardness and experience amongst First Nations peoples as well as with other Canadians, was a major asset to the Ojibwa peoples of the French River area.
