English: The Whitefish Channel and the St. Mary's Island
Prior to 1855, this stream known as the Whitefish Channel flowed freely and separated the Whitefish Island from the St. Mary's Island. Beginning in 1855 up to the mid 1900's, the construction of the American and Canadian locks and the compensating dams to control water levels in the Lake Superior reduced the water in the channel to a stream. Nowadays most of the channel is dried up. The St. Mary's Island is a traditional territory of the Batchewana First Nation. In 1895, the island was divided by the construction of the Canadian locks. Today the boundary starts at the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site and stretches across the canal to border the Whitefish Island.

Avant 1855, le ruisseau connu sous le nom de « chenal Whitefish » coute librement entre les îles Whitefish et St. Mary's. De 1855 au milieu des années 1900, la construction des écluses américaines et canadiennes et des barrages compensateurs, pour contrôler le niveau du lac Supérieur, ne laisse qu'un filet d'eau dans le chenal. De nos jours, le chenal es presque complètement asséché. L'île St. Mary's est un territoire traditionnel de la Première nation de Batchewana. En 1895, la construction des écluses canadiennes divise l'île. Aujourd'hui, la frontière commence au parc du canal historique de Parcs Canada et s'étend de l'autre côté du canal aux abords de l'île Whitefish. |
