Maiagizis or Ignace Tonené, chief of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai, in 1909.[1]

The Teme-Augama Anishnabai (from the Anishinaabe Dimii'aagamaa Anishinaabe, "the deep water people") is the Indigenous Anishinaabe community of the Temagami First Nation. The ancestors of Teme-Augama Anishnabai have trapped and hunted animals in the Temagami region of Canada for over 5,000 years. Bear Island on Lake Temagami is home to the Indigenous community.
