Achiligonan Tribe
The Achiligonan Tribe, existing between 1640 and 1670 along the north shore of Lake Huron, predominantly occupied the area around the French River extending westward to Sault Ste Marie. By 1670, they were affiliated with the Sault mission, primarily visiting for fishing purposes. Historical accounts indicate their fluctuating location over the years, with mentions of their trade with the Cree and a likely connection to either the Chippewa or Nipissing bands.
