Below is Leonard Peltier's annual message delivered in conjunction with the anniversary of his incarceration on February 6th. Please broadcast as widely as possible to as many groups as possible. This is a message to all people regardless of color: Leonard Peltier PO Box 583 Lawrence, KS 66044 www.leonardpeltier.org Leonard Peltier Defense Committee January 23, 2004 Hau Kola, Hello my friends, my relatives: You can never imagine the heartfelt comfort it brings to know you're not forgotten in prison. This is my 28th year, and I've seen others come and go and return again. I can't help but feel a great sorrow for many of these young men who keep coming back for one reason or another; most of which are alcohol related offenses. So much has changed since I came here and yet, in many ways, it's still the same. The government, under the pretext of security and progress, liberated us from our land, resources, culture, dignity and future. They violated every treaty they ever made with us. I use the word "liberated" loosely and sarcastically, in the same vein that I view their use of the words "collateral damage" when they kill innocent men, women, and children. They describe people defending their homeland as terrorists, savages and hostiles, and accuse us of being aggressors. We have never fought a battle or war that was not on our own land; we never fired the first shot ... ever. My words reach out to the non-Indian: Look now before it's far too late - see what is being done to others in your name and see what destruction you sanction when you say nothing. Your own treaty, the one between yourselves and the government, is being violated daily; this treaty is commonly known as the Constitution. With us, they started a little at a time, encroaching on our rights until we had none at all. It will be the same for the Constitution; this is not conjecture, but fact. We are not embattled with the color of man, but with the weakness of man, a mindset that lusts for power and wealth at the expense of life. Men of all colors, cultures and religions must stand together to oppose the genocidal policies that face us all as the corporate world seeks to enslave all, and pit one nation against another. If you avoid breaking laws and do what you're told and ignore the poor, the oppressed and the downtrodden - you probably won't be bothered. If you try to right what is wrong, however, you will surely meet great opposition and run the risk of imprisonment or death. I am a Sun Dancer. I took a vow for my people. I chose to seek the Creator's will and to follow it to the best of my ability. I WILL NOT STAND DOWN FROM THAT VOW. I will continue to speak, write and organize until Grandfather himself quiets my life. If I can do this in prison, I have no doubt you can do much better from where you stand. I encourage you to do your best, be kind to one another, seek harmony and balance with all natural life, enjoy what freedom you have left, and most of all, never, never give up. In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, Leonard Peltier

Welcome Laurie....enjoy

Hi All This is most of the second letter I said I would email. Laurie Beth had gone through at least some of the archives and I know this will interest a few on the list in particular. The rest of the list would be most appreciated and thank you Laurie Beth! Larry Friend (Black Buffalo) friend@2z.net ============================= Larry: I took the opportunity, since this was a slow night for me work wise, to search the archives to see if there had been any talk about the Shawnee, as that is the area of my familes personal research. As for the person who asked if someone telling him Chinese and he wondered if they meant Shawnee. There are several ways the Shawnees were called. The name comes from the term " Shawun " meaning south or "Shawunogi" meaning southerner. The French called the Shawnee "Chaouanons, and the Iroquois called them " ontwaganha. " meaning those who utter unintelligible speech. Other names: Ani-Sawanugi [ Cherokee ], Chaskpe [French], Santana [ Iroquois ], Shawala [Lakota], Savannah or Savannuca [ South Carolina colonists]. There are supposedly 150 different names and spellings that have been used to refer to the Shawnee. So it is quite possible that the person who told him that meant Shawnee. Many Shawnees prefer to call themselves the Shawano. If I can find the rest of the list, I'll send it along if you'd like.

Hi All It seems we have another new list member. I missed seeing any subscribe but was lucky enough to have a friend, another gen researcher, that knows I love reading anything Native. She forwarded to me an email from another list. The author of that email, Laurie Beth Roman, wrote me and said she joined the list. Laurie Beth Roman is an author and from the little I have read of her material is a very seriuos researcher and writer of Shawano (Shawnee) roots. I will forward another of her emails to the list after this one. Besides being knowledgeable with an interesting writing style she seems very caring and sharing. With a few minutes of time available, she pumped out a very nice email to me that I will be forwarding next. Anyway! The message is below and this two finger typist will let you enjoy some of her writing. This message will be of great interest to those researching their New York nDn roots while the next will mainly cover Shawano information. Welcome Laurie Beth! Larry Friend (Black Buffalo) friend@2z.net ================= ----- Original Message ----- From: NAAHKITTY@aol.com To: GENAUTHOR-L@rootsweb.com Sent: January 15, 2004 7:30 PM Subject: Re: [GENAUTHOR] Re: new member introduction Kathleen: My first suggestion is for you to register your ancestor in the Native Ancestors Roster. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you a roster registration form. Assuming you have already followed the regular genealogical steps in your research, I went ahead and found the following sources in my files that might be of help to you. One caution, try to think Native while you concentrate on your research. To do this you will have to do at least cursory research of the tribes in the confederacy to ascertain which tribe your ancestor is most likely to be from. First, the members of the Iroquois League includes; Onondaga, Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, and Oneida. Some books that might help: Heritage Books Inc. 1540-E Pointer Ridge Pl.

ANCESTRY'S RED BOOK : American State, County & town sources. Edited by Alice Eichholz, Ph.D.,C.G. Though this book has minimal information concerning Native American Ancestry research. It is a valuable resource for those involved in genealogical research, who aren't familiar with the State by State, County by County and Town sources to contact for details of the information available.

"The Iroquois People believed that the Willow was the tree of life. They planted willows on their graves. When that was no longer possible, they carved them on the gravestones. So, when you are walking in an older cemetery and find a headstone with a willow on it, you are most likely to be looking at an Iroquois speaking person." According to Donna Allen Tampa Fl. "The first person to suggest that the 13 colonies form a union was Iroquois Chief Canassatego, who got tired of trying to negotiate treaties with so many different entities. Benjamin Franklin picked up on the idea and pitched it to the Albany Congress in 1754." AND: "The concept of impeachment was taken from the Iroquois, who were governed by 50 elected sachems. Any one of them could be impeached by a vote of the WOMEN." AND: "Representation in the U.S. Senate is modeled after the Iroquois League in which all nations had an equal voice regardless of size. The practise of giving newly admitted states equal status was modeled after the Iroquois Nation as well."

The Native American Book of Knowledge Author : White Deer of Autumn/ Gabriel Horn. This book tells of the many contributions that Native Americans made to this country. One of the chapters in this book tells about the "People of the Longhouse", better known as the Iroquois. It is this tribe who is associated with the Iroquois Confederacy. This Confederacy consisted of five nations. They were the Iroquois, Onondaga, Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, and Oneida. They were united under the "Law of Great Peace". The symbol for the Confederacy was an Eagle, with five arrows in one claw and a pine bow in the other claw. The thirteen colonies adopted the eagle as their symbol too. In one claw is thirteen arrows to symbolize the original thirteen colonies. In the other claw was an olive branch. The olive branch is the European symbol for peace.

Hello everyone, I just joined the list. I am from Sault Ste. Marie Michigan and enjoy geneaology and history. I know previous there has been mention of a microfilm scanner. I would be interested in what are your opinions on what is the best and most economical microfilm scanner to use. I find printers at libraries not providing enough light on the images thus giving a dark photocopy. I believe a scanner is a worthy investment for any geneaologist/historian who has the budget. Any suggestions? Please provide url links or e-mail me directly with the information. I thank you in advance for any assistance. Miigwech Nathan Wright Sault Ste.

Hello Carol and All I finally figured out this line with the help of some very good friends. After having worked on this line for a very long time. Nicholas is not the father of Colbert Amiot/Lamyotte. I also suspected Nicholas may have been the father but that is not the case. Colbert married Marie Jesse Solomon,(they are my 3rd g grandparents) whose grandfather was Ezekiel Solomon who is credited with being the first Jew in the Upper Peninsula, if not the state. He was connected with the fur trade as early as 1778. Colbert's father was Jean Baptiste Amiot b.1766, his father was Jean Marie Baptiste Amiot b. 1633, his father was Jean-Baptiste b 1694, his father was Charles b 1651, his father was Mathieu b.1628, his father was Philippe b 1602 in France. Regarding the Francis Robinson line...... his wife was Josette Jacob Chibayabos. Would you please send what you mentioned on Angelique's brother's death certificate so I can try to reconcile this for you . This Robinson line also goes back into the Aubuchons. There are several Rene Bourrassas. Which one are you referring to?

Jane Bessie Many excellent resources are out there but have you contacted the Bad River Reservation. You may find a windfall of info there. You state she was on the 1923 Bad River roll. Were other family members listed, if so who and what ages? I believe I have seen both of these surnames at Fon du Lac as well. The Minnesota Historical Society has a death index on the web. You can order copies or if you are in the metro area they will quickly show you what to do and you can copy them yourself at 30 cents a page. I get down somewhat regular and copy some. My 3 boys and 4 1/2 grandchildren (expecting one soon!) are down there so I go as often as I can. The page is: http://people.mnhs.org/dci/ If the one of the following is your Bessie Cook then there is most likely an obituary for her. COOK, BESSIE M.

Hello- Does anyone have any information on the Cook or Connors family of Bad River reservation in Wisconsin? Bessie Connors (Cook was married name) was my grandmother and had 5 children, Roger, Mabel, David (don't know the other two names) and most of those children migrated to the Minneapolis area. I would like to research my family tree and don't have much to go on. My father Dave (or David Cook) married a Lorraine Boswell back in the 60's but I do not have any information on my father's side of the family but know his mother's name was Bessie Connors. I found the name Connors on the 1923 tribal roles and the reservation confirms her on those roles but doesn't give me any other information. I am looking for someone to help me track down birth certificates, etcetera for my father's side of the family. I was estranged from my biological family back in 1966 (the year of my birth) and am currently trying to research my father's family for the sake of my four children. Any help or references to someone who could help would greatly be appreciated. Thank-you so much, Jane Bessie Cook- monkette@ix.netcom.com

Louise..... There were families by the name of Redbird in that area during that time period. Joseph, John and William. Their father was Kahzhegawnegay. John married Annie Wassayquom b. abt. 1857 in Leelaneau County. They had 4 kids, Charlie, Annie, Wallace and Enos. There have been other instances where these names bird/hawk were interchangeable. Hope this is something for you.

Our prayers go out to the family of Elder Frank James Basket Weaver <giiwenh@yahoo.com> wrote: >From The Traverse City Record Eagle - January 7, 2004 PESHAWBESTOWN - Frank F. James, 86, of Peshawbestown, passed away on Jan. 4, 2004, at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. Born on July 2, 1917, in Kalkaska County, he was the son of Wallace and Alice (Hinman) James. Frank married Ruby Kaulay on July 29, 1950, in Lawton, Okla. Frank "Ogitchida" is of the Black Wolf Clan, of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. He is a carrier of an Odawa Eagle Staff that holds Eight Eagle feathers. He was a Grand Traverse Band Tribal Elder. A veteran, Frank served our country in the US Army during WWII and the Korean Conflict. He was at Pearl Harbor when the bombing first began with Japan, and he served in Guam. Frank earned a bronze star and many ribbons and medals for his bravery. Frank retired from General Motors in Lansing. After retirement, he and Ruby traveled between Oklahoma, Kalkaska, Peshawbestown and Lansing. They had many treasured memories. Frank was one of the first fifteen signatures that chartered Eagletown American Legion Post #120 in August of 2000. He was a "Paid Up for Life Member" of Post #120. Frank is described as an example of "all that is good"; he is a loving husband, a friend, and a good soldier. He will be greatly missed by many. Frank is survived by his sister, Dorothy McDonald of Ithaca; his nephews and nieces, Jesse James of Peshawbestown, Lyle James of Lansing, Linda Snellenberger of Lake, Gary McDonald Jr., Charles McDonald and Rodney McDonald, all of Ithaca, and Cora Sue (Robert) Thompson of Gotedo, Okla.; his grandnephews, Thomas (Flossie) Proctor of Lake, and James (Paula) Proctor of Sheridan. Preceding Frank in death were his wife, Ruby; his brothers, Jesse James Sr. and Ford Mecum; his sisters, Anna James and Lucy Mecum Marburger; and his nieces, Mary James and Sarah Thomas. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2004, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., at Wolfe Funeral Home in Kalkaska, with the wake beginning at 7 p.m. The funeral service will take place on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2004, at 2 p.m., also at the funeral home.

Larry Just a little note of interest. Whether or not there is a connection between families, I have to note the name "Lenora Couture", one of the last children mentioned.

Hi Larry Have you looked at the website link I sent? This is all about our Joseph Couture and pictures, etc. I will resend the link. If there is other information you need, I can send that as well. Thanks,Larry. what a miracle if you could actually find a connection. We have pored Hudson's Bay records and a Joseph Couture was one of the men who moved the people and furs from Ontario to Montreal. Joseph Couture is apparently a fairly common name, and quite often mentioned in blood lists, Metis stories, etc. but it is the timing that is off. We don't have any names of siblings for Joseph, as he came into town alone, saying he was returning to the place of his birth, app. 1828, after many years of travelling and boxing and wrestling all over the country. Would you like to email directly to me? Leora www.genealogy.com/users/d/y/c/Andrea-L-Dyck/index.html.
