Andrea, Unfortunately Chief Whitebird is dealing with some dificult family situations at this time and I don't want to distract him from his duties. I talked to another tribal citizen who was raised there and he told me the Cloud and Couture families are still on the Rez, but your best bet is to get in touch with the tribal office for information regarding family histories: Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa P.O. Box 39 Odanah WI 54861 Tel. 715/682-7111 Fax 715/682-7118 aarjan@shaw.ca wrote: >I am researching one of the names mentioned - Couture - and would like to touch base with Bonnie.
