The locals called him "Indian George". At the age of ten he was taken captive on the Kentucky frontier by Shawnee Indians and was assimilated into the tribe. He lived with them for seventeen years and fought in the Northwest Indian War (1785-1795). After the war, he set out to find his white family.

Good day, All . Thank - you, Mr. F. Lore . This, is very similar, to '' Unworthy History '' channel, here on U tube. Similar stories, but very True ! Thanks, for not having any back - ground music....Silence, is Golden. Or, as in DECENT, LOGICAL = Music = Less is More ! Shalom, from eastern central Alberta. Check - out Fort Battleford, Saskatchewan. Went to school, about 300 feet from that military graveyard, there.

Thanks for the comment! I do quite enjoy Unworthy History and similar channels. I use background music, but I try to keep the audio levels low and subtle.

Great video just subscribed because a historical story told by a human without all the crap people trying to tell a story with dulling or raising their voices

Source for ur claim??? Pembina Metis here my ancestors were not canables. The Ojibwa/Chippewa/Metis did not eat people!!! No where in our history!!! Stop wachisu lies!

Hello, the source is from George Ash’s interview, which was published in George Turner's "Traits of Indian Character". This is a narrative and should be taken as secondhand. It's heavily implied that they ate this man because they were starving and desperate.

Wachisu isn't an Ojibwe Chippewa nor Metis word. Wacichu is a Lakota Sioux word.

@@SoldierAndrew as well as a Nakota word. Weenuck is also Nakota/Lakota word; but Tugeye is Cree. Sioux on the other hand is an Ojibwe/ Anishinaabe word meaning snake. I'm a Trottier, I use Nakota words as well as Ojibwe & Cree
