Why was there a plaque made for chief yellowhead?

Answer 1

Chief Yellowhead was an Ojibwa Chief born as Musquakie. He was appointed as principal chief of Deer Tribe by his father (Chief Yellowhead). Chief Yellowhead (the son) was the Chippewa spokesman for the November 1815 Treaty [Lake Simcoe Land] along with William Claus. Chief Yellowhead accepted the formal agreement for 250000 acres between Lake Simcoe and Pentanguishene in exchange for 4000 pounds currency in goods. Chief Yellowhead was a very respected individual by his people and later moved to Orillia, then again to Rama, where he died, some say at an age over 100 years old.
