Shabogesic Beach

Google just informed me that I will be finishing my swim across Lake Nipissing on Shabogesic Beach. It seems that the city of North Bay renamed Marathon Beach to Shabogesic Beach on May 3, 22. Chief Shabogesic was the Nipissing First Nations (NFN) chief who signed the Robinson–Huron Treaty of 1850, thus playing a significant role in protecting NFN's inherent rights and in securing its future. The renaming of the popular beach acknowledges that the City of North Bay is located on the ancestral lands of the NPN and recognizes the importance of the heritage and history of the NFN in the North Bay community.
