Terry, You mention a 136 year old Chippewa named Ka-be-nah-gwey-wence in the Family Photo section of your Mackinac Roots web-site, which, by the way, is a great site. You asked if anyone could identify him. I do not know who he is, but his photograph appears on page 86 of a book entitled "Native Americans in Early Photographs" by Tom Robotham. The book was originally published in 1994 and republished in 2003. The following is the description that accompanies the photo: Very Old Chippewa Man in Traditional Costume, n.d. (I assume this means "not dated") From Fred R. Meyer Collection National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Maybe this lead will provide you with a starting point for your search to find out who he was. Please let me know if you discover his identity, especially if he is from Minnesota or upper Wisconsin. My paternal family line runs from France to Quebec, then Ontario, Canada and proceeded over the course of years into Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Good luck in your investigation!
