The Ojibwe of this area in the early and mid-nineteenth century lived through a time of considerable threat to the survival of the First Nations, as they lost much of their autonomy, and almost all of their traditional territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDonald B.

Each portrait is based on research drawn from an extensive collection of writings and recorded speeches by southern Ontario Ojibwe themselves, along with secondary sources. These documents – uncovered over the 40 years that Smith has spent researching and writing about the Ojibwe – represent the richest source of personal First Nations writing in Canada from the mid-nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMississauga Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a sequel to Smith’s immensely popular\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSacred Feathers\u003c\/em\u003e, which provided a detailed biography of Mississauga chief and Methodist minister Peter Jones (1802–1856).
