About
The context of this web site is both a very personal one and a more global, celebratory one. All through my life I have felt very connected to my Aboriginal heritage, as well as other aspects of my inherited bloodline, including Scottish, French, English and Irish ancestors. My Anishanabe heritage comes from my mother’s side of the family, which can easily be traced back to include several generations (1788 to 2004) of the LeSage clan from the Algoma, Ontario and Michigan areas of the Great Lakes, especially around both Sault Ste. Maries (Ontario, Michigan). I have also included data related to the Paquette-Barker-Carruthers-Smillie members of my personal bloodline, which go back to the 14th century for some branches.
