The Historic Georgian Bay Métis Community is an indivisible part of the Upper Great Lakes Métis.
Its formation largely resulted from the migration of Upper Great Lakes Métis families concentrated around Michilimackinac, who moved between 1790-1829 to St. Joseph Island, Drummond Island, and eventually Penetanguishene. During this time, Métis in the Upper Great Lakes also spread outward along the north shores of Lake Huron and Lake Superior.
