Hi. I'm Albert7777 (Talk) , I'm a normal editor on Wikipedia and I mainly do behind the scenes stuff like NPPing and removing vandalism. I believe that Wikipedia and its sister projects are a very important source of knowledge in the world. Although I'm not such a large contributor to Wikimedia Projects, I commit lots of my free time (which is very little) to Wikipedia. If you find this encyclopedia or its sister projects useful, please consider making a donation.



Ignace Tonené
Ignace Tonené (1840 or 1841 – 15 March 1916), also known as Nias or by his Ojibwe name Maiagizis ('right/correct sun'), was a Teme-Augama Anishnabai chief, fur trader, and gold prospector in Upper Canada. He was a prominent employee of the Hudson's Bay Company. Tonené was the elected deputy chief before being the lead chief and later the life chief of his community. In his role as deputy, he negotiated with the Canadian federal government and the Ontario provincial government, advocating for his community to receive annual financial support from both. His attempts to secure land reserves for his community were thwarted by the Ontario premier Oliver Mowat. Tonené's prospecting triggered a 1906 gold rush and the creation of Kerr Addison Mines Ltd., although one of his claims was stolen from him by white Canadian prospectors. This photograph shows Tonené in 1909.Photograph credit: William John Winter; restored by Adam Cuerden
