    3. Do you know if they have a similar listing for any Michigan people? I know Schoolcraft was all over the state. -----Original Message----- From: Trashound@aol.com [mailto:Trashound@aol.com] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 9:28 AM To: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NISHNAWBE] Clan Affiliations/Schoolcraft Hi all - the subject of clans came up and I copied this from the MSU library sometime ago from the Henry Rowe Schoolcraft papers. Unfortunately, the Ance or Oak Pointe band is not on it, but it may help others. The following is a complete list and I have found no additional pages. Spellings have been interpreted as best as I can read HRS's handwriting. Additionally, I do not have an Ojibway dictionary to translate the totems HRS left in Ojibway. I estimate this list was made in the 1820s. - Terry "No. 1 Monomoneau - Head Wisconsin 1. Na wa je wun awassiicong fish, cat 2. Pe na see neban abaig 3. Omuskose Bear 4. Mukomiseedamice Martin 5.
