Whitebird, Simon was my husband's uncle. Not sure if he is related to your Whitebird's...I will look them up. Other names are not familiar but my husband's father came from the Bad River Reservation. Name was Charles Michael Diver. Is that familiar to you? Honestind@aol.com

http://fdlrez.com/Museum/photos/peralescollection.htm has a Simon Whitebird in the Perales Collection. http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm If you search the Minnesota Death Records Index, Whitebird brings up 37, Mother's Maiden as Whitebird brings up another 18 hits. Copies are reasonably priced and you can go to St. Paul, the Minnesota Historical Society, and copy them yourself for 30 cents each. It is an easy to do thing. Larry Friend (Black Buffalo) friend@2z.net EDUCA'TION, n. [L. educatio.] The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.
