I would consider this useful information...This is a digitalized book can be downloaded for full viewing of the whole book. Chapter V is titled: Discovery Along The Great Lakes.

Have you ever wondered about Native Legends? I believe some of these stories are very true or relate to a true incident. The story of Wenonah is one of them. Back in the day things were different. It happened in my own family. It is a story that was told by my mother and how it became she married a Scot by the name of Samuel J. Fox. This story still sticks in my head. How it was that Josette L. Brunette married name because her real name I have not found. She was Sioux and Assiniboine and Cree. She had many children she was never rich and her one daughter Angeline had an arranged marriage, at the age of 14. Samuel was told that she could not bear his children until the age of 16. There is more to this story and I know and heard many other stories including one from a well known man named Larry Cloud Morgan; his mother was 12 years of age when she was given to a man to be married. I realize that stories are hard to find out the details. Because on my two sides of my bloodline have Sioux intermarriages I want to know when this was and more on how it went from good to bad. Now we know why it was because of the people who came here an disrupted the harmony that existed between many tribes.

To me researching History and Genealogy is a never-ending job. Some people prefer to only go back just so far they set limitations. I am a person that can't do that it is just not possible for me to ignore or ask well what happened before that. I need to know what took place back in the beginning not just jump into the year 1825 when treaties were being made, I want to know about who was exploring what and what tribes were in alliance with each other because before the Europeans arrived we had Many Tribal Nations that traded with each other and Lived peacefully with one another. Yes they had their squeamish and they dealt with issues way different but when the Europeans came that changed it all.
***
I know in my heart that it is not right to hate..and I don't. Please do not take my words and twist them into that. When I mention the blame it is of factual documentation. I am only here to discuss the many issues that pertain to those areas. It is a part of my ancestors past they lived it. I am only here reviewing it and picking up the many missing pieces of their lives.
Migwitch and have a great day
