The best way to find your clan is to go to DC & look for the original treaties, whichever ones that your ancestors would be listed on. The treaties you find on the internet are a revised version. On the originals you will find next to the signatures, a clan mark, which is how they signed them. Your clan is on the male side only so your fathers' fathers' fathers'. It does not come from the female side unlike Mohawks. -----Original Message----- From: Pete & Teri [mailto:4windsnm@gilanet.com] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 11:43 PM To: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NISHNAWBE] Anse/Ance clan Greetings to all, In most of my family research there's only thing I haven't seen or found to be mentioned..The family"Clan"..I would assume that it was turtle..being that Chief Anse & his band were from the U.P. & Michilimackinac was sacred to the bands. But you never know.. Does anyone know or can anyone direct me...I'd appreciate any guidance here...
