Haskaont

Haskaont is a Wendat name associated with Georgina Island in the southern part of Lake Simcoe. The lake lies on a route between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay, through a country inhabited by Wendat peoples and their neighbours. At the narrows to the north, fishing weirs guided fish into openings where nets could be set. Samuel de Champlain saw the great fishery there in 1615 while travelling through the region with Indigenous companions.
