Assegun Indian Tribe History
Assegun (probably from Chippewa
ŭ'shigŭn 'black bass.' W. J.) A traditional
tribe said to have occupied the region about Mackinaw and Sault Ste Marie
on the first coming of the Ottawa and Chippewa, and to have been driven by
them southward through lower Michigan. They are said, and apparently
correctly, to have been either connected with the Mascoutin or identical
with that tribe, and to have made the bone deposits in northern Michigan.
See Mascoutin.
