My name is Thomas Duvernay and I am a member of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, in the Petoskey/Harbor Springs, Michigan area. I visit my hometown once or twice a year, but spend most of the year in Korea, as I teach in a Korean university (for the better part of two decades). My favorite hobby is Korean traditional archery (and is related to the subject at hand), and I have been a practitioner for more than a dozen years. I spent years internationalizing Korean trad archery, in many ways. I founded a web site (www.koreanarchery.org), produced two videos (crafting the Korean horn bow and crafting the Korean bamboo arrow), and have demonstrated Korean archery at trad archery events, over the years. For years, I wanted to do something useful for the LTBB, and saw the lack of traditional Anishnaabe archery as an area I might be able to help in. With my background in trad archery, and resources available to me, I hope to be able to revive/resurrect the tradition. Although many Anishnaabeg bowhunt, it is most often with compound bows, not traditional gear--when people question the effectiveness of trad gear, they should consider that our ancestors survived and thrived for tens of millennia using only that. The downside is that much of the archery knowledge of the Anishnaabeg was lost and forgotten. Now, it is a matter of finding the small bits and pieces and putting them together. I believe that many elders have memories related to it, from their childhood days--possibly a grandfather or uncle made them a bow and taught them a little about it. I have some trad archery friends (mostly non-Anishnaabeg) who are working on replicas of the bows, arrows, quivers, and other archery tackle for this project. They are photo-documenting the procedures, and I hope to be able to eventually have an article written on the subjects, with their help. We need to find out other things, too: *traditional archery games--formal/informal *ceremonial traditions *hunting/warfare archery traditions *hunting/warfare regalia *terminology and so on... I'm hoping that archery events will even become part of our local jiingtamok (and maybe yours, too!). I will invite to such events people I know who are experts in their fields: bowmaking, arrowmaking, stone knapping, etc. Please, I need your help in this. If you can talk with your tribal elders about it, I would be most appreciative--anything you find out will be credited to you. Chi miigwech! Thomas

Somewhat off topic but it has been quiet so some info is better then none. Cheboygan Tribune Burt Lake Band protests sign Historic marker at museum honors former sheriff who destroyed an Indian village By ERICA KOLASKI Tribune Staff Writer CHEBOYGAN - A recently erected historical marker has struck a raw nerve amongst members of a local American Indian tribe. The Historical Society of Cheboygan County erected a historical marker last month at the site of the old county jail and sheriff's residence, which has been the society's museum since 1972. The sign explains the history of the jail and sheriff's residence on one side and the other is dedicated to Sheriff Frederick Ming. The sign says that Ming was the "most notorious of the 19 lawmen who lived here." It goes on to state "In October 1900 Ming, his deputies, and speculator John McGinn burned Indian Village on Burt Lake in a land grab from the Indians." Local resident Curtis Chambers, chairman of the Burt Lake Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, is outraged that the sign gives any credit to Ming, who he says "threw the women and children out into the snow and burned their village." Chambers said that his grandmother was one of the children that was thrown out into the snow. "The women and children went to what is now Indian Road in Brutus and lived there with friends and relatives - they had no where else to go," Chambers explained. "To honor this man is a slap in the face to the Burt Lake Band." He said that he has written to members of Congress as well as local representatives and the governor about the issue. Quincy Leslie from the local Historical Society said that when the group petitioned for the sign, members did not intend for it to honor Ming. "They changed the general idea of the sign," said Leslie. "It is not what we were asking for as a matter of information." Laura Ashley from the state historical society said that the primary purpose of the sign was to educate the public about Michigan history. "It's true that the burnout is a part of Michigan history, but it's also true that James Earl Ray killed Martin Luther King Jr. and you don't see a statue to him at the Motel Lorraine," said Chambers. King was gunned down on a balcony at the Motel Lorraine in Memphis, Tenn. on April 4, 1968. Ashley said that Ming was a significant figure in Michigan history for a number of reasons. Ming was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1905 to 1906 and from 1923 to 1924 and served the Cheboygan district from 1925 until 1932. Ashley said that Ming also founded a tuberculosis sanitarium in Gaylord. "I have encouraged the tribe to apply for their own marker for the site that has more detail about the incident," she said. At the Cheboygan museum a cabin that was spared in the burning also stands. Chambers said that the cabin belonged to his great-grandfather, Albert Shanaquet. And although Ashley said that she did receive a call from Chambers, she said she is waiting for a letter to bring before the State Historical Commission so it can decide how to handle the matter. In the meantime, Chambers has asked the city to cover up or take down the sign. "We may have to take it down and send it back," said Leslie, although no action has been taken.

Hoping someone can help. I would love to document the birth of Pierre Kiwandaway as listed below and/or any information regarding his father/mother. Pierre Kiwandaway (original spelling Keywoudwey) was born at Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada in 1816, the son of a Potawatomi Indian Chief. He also came to the title Chieftain, migrated to Mackinac County, Michigan sometime in 1840's. Betty Cogan

You got it right. I've got a greatgrandmother Nancy Ella Smith who claimed to be German when her roots went back to the original Oneida census of 1820. Her father was Sylvester Smith of Oneida County. Trying to tie Sylvester with the Reverend William H. Smith an enrolled Oneida. Also, the name Alice M. Smith appears to be a cousin of Nancy Ella's. Alice was William's daughter. Also have an Marie Lavada Robinson from Berford Township (Charlesburg) Quebec that I'm trying to find a tribv for. She appears to be one of my great-greatgrandmothers.

I know that Antoine's mother was native but I have not yet found out which parent of Cecile was native. It is possible the ancestry for her was farther back. Not everyone identified their aboriginal ancestry in the Census but it was unusual for a person to claim native ancestry if they did not have it so I have to assume that Cecile has native ancestry somewhere in her background.
