    1. Connection of Grand Traverse Band members with Red Lake Reservation members
    2. A. Dembinski
    3. The recent shootings at Red Lake prompted me to look into the history of that reservation and the peoples on it, and I came across a fairly detailed genealogy that has been posted on the internet which links members of that tribe with some of the members of the Grand Traverse Band. See http://www.ojibwe.info/Ojibwe/HTML/people/p000024l.htm#I30363 This page has links to the remainder of this extensive genealogy, there is a vast amount of information. On the cited page, Joseph WAYKAYZO, and his granddaughters Viola M. WAHKAYZOO and Sylvia M. WAHKAYZOO correspond exactly with Joseph, Viola and Sylvia Waukazoo in my database, all connected with the GTB. See my summary page posted at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~waukazoo/ . The Red Lake police officer, Daryl Lussier, who was killed March 21st, is a cousin to the descendants of Viola and Sylvia according to the posted genealogy. I had searched for databases relating to Waukazoo, but the variant spelling used in this new database is one I had not thought of before. I don't know how to feel about this discovery. We are truly all related. Any additions, corrections or comments on this Red Lake information is appreciated.
