I hope no one has suggested this before, but here is a link to a site that has more Native American stories and a whole section on Ottawa stories. I hope someone enjoys this.

"Chief White Eagle of the Stony tribe led his people, away from attacks, to the safety of what is today, the Morley area of Alberta. In his lifetime, he was gratified to see that his choice of location was a wise one. His people prospered in the area he'd led them to. Still, the defeat of his-people by their enemies, the Cree and the Blackfoot tribes, was a humiliation White Eagle could never accept. He wanted revenge. Oddly, in death, White Eagle found his satisfaction and retaliation. Mortally injured in a further attack, the brave chief ordered his warriors to bury him at the peak of a nearby mountain. As the younger men prepared the grave for their dying leader, they caused an avalanche of stones to cascade down the mountain side and kill the attacking tribes. The revenge was so sweet to White Eagle that, even today, he revels in his coup. Legend has it that White Eagle, dressed in flowing robes, rides his white stallion, accompanied by his white dog, through the mists of the Ghost Hills Mountains, and then disappears until the next season into the side of Devils Head Mountain."

I don't know how much help this will be but in the 1950-70's I remember a Family with the name of Gould that lived in St. Ignace, really can't tell you much more. Just that I went to school with them. Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

I am doing family research on Ottawas with surname Gould who lived in that part of the UP from 1860 onward. I wonder if they had anything to do with the naming of Gould City.

In answer to your question: Gould City, MI (Mackinac County) was founded in 1886 by Sam Stiles, grocery storekeeper and named the town after another lumberman. The Gould City Post Office was established on September 26, 1888 with Adolph Highstone as its first postmaster. In checking postmaster records that served the Gould City Post Office over the many years, I find no Gould's listed as postmaster to present date. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I do hope that you find your ancestors. Sometimes this can be a trying and flustrating journey........keep at it you'll come up with something!
