Excerpt from Huron Village Sites: Being an Appendix to the Report of the Minister of Education for the Year 1906 The facts of the case, therefore, appear to be these: The Algonquin speaking tribes, who were mostly littoral peoples living along the shores of lakes and the rivers, and were also canoe-using peoples, were less devoted to the cultivation of tobacco, and indeed all other crops, than were the Huron speaking tribes, especially the Tobacco Nation. Sites of the Algonquins far removed from Huron sites, or belonging to an earlier age than the Hurons? Yield few pipes, while early Huron sites yield an abundance of pipes, but they are mostly inartistic in their designs. Brie¿y stated, the Hurons brought the tobacco plant and its cultivation, while the Algonquins, possess ing the ingenuity to fashion good pipes, brought this ingenuity to bear upon the production of good work. And so it resulted that along the areas of closest contact of the two peoples we now find the best made pipes.
