In the late nineteenth century there was a large mining and lumber industry presence in the town.[\/anno], where we saw another little Church where Mr. Sanders holds service. Many [anno]Indians{note}Du Vernet constantly refers to the Ojibwe peoples he encounters as \u201cIndians\u201d \u2014 his use of the word reflects the language and concepts of his day. The category of \u201cIndian\u201d became a legal designation in Canada with the \u201cIndian Act.\u201d As a distorting collective noun for diverse Indigenous peoples the category of Indian originated in a profound error. As the story goes, when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492 he believed he had arrived in India \u2013 and therefore called the peoples he encountered Indians, ignoring their diverse languages, spiritual traditions, and forms of governance. <a class=\"modal-link\" href=\"https:\/\/storynations.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/on-the-term-indian\/\">Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/storynations.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/detail-of-0502_indian-act-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/storynations.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/detail-of-0502_indian-act-1-300x287.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storynations.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/detail-of-0502_indian-act-1-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storynations.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/detail-of-0502_indian-act-1.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A section of the 1876 Indian Act.
