@@kingtut8381 Very cool and have a great day 😁

@@layla-bean BOO-SHOO, MEG-WETCH 4 YOU R NOTE. I WILL NOW TELL YOU ABOUT JOHN TANNER WHICH MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU. JOHN TANNER WAS CAPTURED BY SOME OJIBWA FROM SAGINAW, MICH IN 1790 WHEN HE WAS 9 YEARS OLD. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS IN SEVERAL OJIBWA FAMILIES, HE WAS TRADED TO AN ODAWA WOMAN OF HIGH STATUS. WHOSE HUSBAND WAS AN OJIBWA FROM THE RED RIVER OF THE NORTH. THIS RELATIONSHIP LAST FOR SEVERAL DECADES AS THEY TRAVELED FROM THE UP OF MICH., INTO MINNESOTA, ONTARIO AND MANOTOBA AND NORTH DAKOTA. TANNER MARRIED SEVERAL OJIBWA WOMEN, HAD A BUNCH OF KIDS. HIS ELDEST SONE, JOHN (JR) ENDED UP IN ONTARIO.MANITOBA AND SIGNED THE 1873 CANADIEN TREATY. HIS BOOK PUBLISHED IN 1838 ? WAS THE MOST EVER DETAILED ACCOUNT OF LIFE OF THE OJIBWA IN THOSE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AREAS, DETAILING STARVATION, WAR PARTIES, TRAPPING, MOVING FROM AREA TO AREA, HIS DEALINGS WITH TRADERS AND THEIR CORRUPTION. TOWARDS THE END, MANY OJIBWA TURNED AGAINST HIM HIM AND HE TRIED TO RE-ENTER THE WHITE MANS WORLD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHICH WERE NOT FRUITFULL. HE RAELY PARTOOK OF ALCOHOL AND NOTED ON MANY POCCASIONS THE DETRIMENTAL ASPECTS OF IT. HWE WORKED AS AN INTERPRETOR AND EVEN WORKED FOR THE CORRUPT INDIAN AGANET, henry schoolcraft. john tanner was implicated in schoolcrafts BROTHERS' MURDER IN 1846 AT SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH AND HE THEN DISAPPEARED. HIS DISAPPEARENCE STILL REMAINS A MYSTERY. AT TIMES HERE WAS CONSIDERED A SUB CHIEF AND MIDE. MANY OF HIS DESCENDENT ARE IN THE PRAIRIE LA PORTAAGE, MINITOBA AND THE BRANDON AREA. HE FOUGHT WITH A WAR PARTY WITH CHIEF MUC-CUD-DA SHEEB, A RED LAKER ? AND KNEW CHIEF PE-GUIS, A CANADIAN OJIBWA. I FIRST READ HIS BOOK WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 1960s ABOUT 200 TIMES AND SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES AT SEVERAL PAGES ATA TIME. THE NAME OF THE BOOK IS " ''A NARRATIVE OF THE CAPTIVITY AND ADVENTURES OF JOHN TANNER, 30 YEARS RESIDENCE AMONG THE INDIANS......'' I HAVE A 1956 EDITION AND THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. A LATER VERSION, CALLED, ''THE FALCON'' FROM 1996 ? IS MUCH ABBREVIATED. FOR OVER 150 YEARS HE WAS KNOWN AS THE FALCON IN OJIBWA. BUT HIS REAL NAME , INTERPRETED MORE CORRECTLY WAS THE, ''SWALLOW.'' IF NOT INTERESTED, PLEASE PASS ON AS IT IS A VERY TRUE TO LIFE DETAILED ACCOUNT OF OJIBWA LIFE IN THE 1795-1840 TIME FRAME. GEE GA WA BA NIN
