Summary from the Ontario Heritage Foundation's website
Pressure by land-hungry settlers in the vicinity of present-day Orillia forced the relocation in 1838-39 of a band of Ojibwa led by Chief William Yellowhead (Musquakie) to a new reserve in Rama Township. Over the years, as the residents made the transition from a nomadic to a settled lifestyle, more acreage was acquired and a thriving agricultural community emerged.
