Take-A-Hike Trail Guide

We are sharing an important update regarding the human remains discovered on the Saugeen Peninsula on August 14, 2025.

Scientific testing, including radiocarbon analysis, has confirmed that the individual lived between 1426 and 1452. This confirms that the remains are those of a Saugeen Ojibway Nation Ancestor.

The disturbance of ancestral remains is a matter of deep spiritual and cultural importance for Saugeen Ojibway Nation. This confirmation affirms what our people have always known, that our ancestors have lived on and cared for these lands since time immemorial.

Saugeen Ojibway Nation is working with the appropriate officials to ensure the Ancestor is respectfully repatriated so that the next steps can proceed in accordance with our cultural protocols.

Please see the full update below.
