  Mississaugas - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Mississaugas are a subtribe of the Ojibwa First Nations people located in Southern Ontario, Canada.
The Mississaugas was a tribe of Ojibwa people that moved from their traditional lands on the shores of Lake Superior and northern Lake Huron to the area around Mississagi River in the 1700s.
The Mississaugas are related to the larger Ojibwa nation (also known as the Chippewa), and were called Mississauga by European settlers because they traded along the Mississagi River (at the head of Lake Huron).

A dam built on the Scugog River in 1834, at Lindsay, raised the water level in the wetland by 6 feet, and over 1000 acres of land were submerged--including the wild rice and cranberry bogs.
As a result the marsh, and all its bounty to the Mississaugas, was destroyed; the new lake was a mass of noxious rotting vegetation.

The population of Northern Ontario is 838,812 inhabitants according to the 2001 census and the region currently has 11 electoral districts.
The Commission’s proposed treatment of the rest of Eastern Ontario was greatly influenced by two factors: a substantial increase in population in the existing electoral district of Lanark—Carleton, which required substantial readjustments to this electoral district, and the Commission’s initial decision to respect the municipal boundaries of the City of Ottawa.
This electoral district includes all of Lanark County (except for the Town of Mississippi Mills), all of Frontenac County (except for the City of Kingston and the Township of Frontenac Islands), and all of the County of Lennox and Addington.
