In 1828, Métis mother Angelique Lepine, her family, and Métis community were forced to leave their home on Drummond Island.
They boarded a sailing ship with all their belongings and set off on a long, cold journey to their new home in Penetanguishene.
One night, a fierce November storm struck, and the ship ran aground. Thinking quickly, Angelique tied herself and her baby to the mast, bravely enduring the wind and rain until rescue arrived at dawn.
