A related article from rych mills about another settlement that was found near the site of Dominion Rubber in the late 1800s.
"But let's backtrack. The Webers and other pioneers were Americans — and latecomers to this area's story. Lot 16 contains one of the few known Indigenous settlement sites within Kitchener. The 1894 Ontario Archaeologist's Report noted evidence of a Neutral village in the area around 2017's Dominion, Park, Cherry and Strange streets. It had last been occupied in the mid-1600s. In 1912, during the Canadian Consolidated Rubber factory's construction on Strange Street in the west corner of Lot 16, several well-preserved Indigenous skeletons surfaced. In those days, there were no requirements for investigation, consultation or preservation."
