Massacre Island, Ontario
Massacre Island, Ontario is a small island in Lake of the Woods, a large lake between the United States and Canada. It is possible that here, on June 6, 1736, a mostly Sioux group killed Jean-Pierre Aulneau, Jean Baptiste de La Vérendrye, and 19 other French Voyageurs. The site is marked by a large wooden cross in the middle of the island. There is some dispute whether this island was the actual site of the massacre.
