     Carving its way through the Precambrian Shield, the Mississagi River meets Lake Huron at Blind River, Ontario. In the past the Mississagi served as a route through the wilderness of Northern Ontario for the nomadic Ojibwa tribes. It gave settlers access to the Mississagi River Valley, which is the area from Wharncliffe north to Aubrey Falls. And it has provided the scope for human endeavor that has allowed the Valley to prosper. Grey Owl described the Mississagi as "untamed, defiant and relentless, arrogantly imposing its name on all surrounding country..." The river has since been harnessed in the age old struggle of man against nature. Yet the river remains a fixture in the lives of those who inhabit the Mississagi River Valley, a sparsely populated area that is unsurpassed in beauty. This is the story of the Mississagi River Valley, and the heritage of the people who are privileged to live there.
