Jimmy Chicken got his name, well, by stealing chickens.
When Jimmy died in 1900 there was a massive Indian funeral. Early residents recall over one hundred canoes on Oak Bay Beach as Songhees attended ceremonial dances to the beating of drums.
Then his body was put aboard a large canoe which led the procession to Chatham Island where, with further ceremonies, he was laid to rest beside his beloved Jenny.
Mary Tod Island is remembered by many as Jimmy Chicken Island.
