Atigameg: Caribou of the sea found at Baawating
It is at the foot of these rapids (Baawating or St. Marys), and even amid these boiling waters that extensive fishing is carried on, from Spring until Winter, of a kind of fish found usually only in Lake Superior and Lake Huron. It is called in the native language Atticameg, and in ours “whitefish,” because in truth it is very white; and it is most excellent, so that it furnishes food, almost by itself, to the greater part of all these peoples.
