His - father was called Thomas Nadamupt and his mother's name was Jenny ZHOW NO GEE ZHICK. The second of four children, he was born in a two roe~ log c~bin near the shore of Vaughn Lake in Alcona county, just south of the town of Glennie. His- parents named him WASH ESH KOM "Flash-of-Lightening." He had been born into the Bear clan of the Swan Creek Band of Chippewa. After moving from their home near Quanicassee in Tuscola county, his parents sett(ed - near Glennie as homesteaders at the end 6f the lumberjack era. Fl~sh-of-Lightening and his father and uncles hunted, fished, and trapped along the AuSable river and followed · many of the old traditions. While near Saginaw about 1905, he witnessed the last publicly held L Medicine Dance in that area. Flash-of-Lightening spoke only his Chippewa language when he first attended the whiteman's school. At first he had a difficult time understanding the teacher's lessons but he soon began to learn the foreign language. He has lived to see the day when many young Indians speak only English and understand only a few words of their traditional language. ; I At the urging of white missionaries, Flash-of Lightening took the biblical name Elijah and added it to the assumed surname of Thomas about 1916. During his early life Eli worked as a lumber jack, a ~arm hand, and a carpenter. At one time he aspired to being a preacher in a Christian church. In 1924 Eli married Betsy Pontiac, a descendent of the great Chief Pontiac. They were married at the Indian Mission Church, twenty miles east of the town of Glennie, and later moved to the Isabella Reservation near Mt. Pleasant. Late in the 1920's Eli and Betsy met a man who was traveling through the area with a group of Indians performing educational shows. They joined this historical program and toured communities and schools throughout Michigan. After a short time, the aging director turned the program over to Eli Thomas who soon became known as "Little Elk." In many respects, this traveling program was the beginning of modern Indian Pow Wows for much of Michigan. ,efll ., 1 ~ ' ....-·_,_ ·._.-- -~ !'L ~ /"'.. .·· .'Ji . �2 Throughout the 1~30's and 1940's Little El k and the others traveled to many of the one room school houses providing educational programs and public shows to teach the "whiteman" the Indian Way. They paid particular attention to story dances which honored the mysterious forces of nature. In the 1950's and early 60's growing prosperity in Michigan brought a boom in tourism which supported a number of Pow-Wow-like programs in several areas of the state. Little Elk participated in and organized the programs at a gift shop near Houghton Lake. For many young whites and Indians, participation in this tourist program over the past several decades has been both an educational experience and a way to have a little fun. About 1960, Little Elk and his close associates; Anthony Chingman, Maggie Jackson, Foster Otto, Ike and Lucy Peltcher, Lennie and Elsie Stevens, Bi 11 y Elk, Leonard Pamp, Alice Bennett, · Louis Pontiac, and many others began the present Pow Wow Trail throughout southwest Ontario and southern Michigan. At about the same t~me Teofila Lucero and John Basin introduced styles of singing and dancing which they were familiar with from the southern Plains and the Southwestern United States. During the latter part of the decade, the rising tide of political militancy and social awareness fostered the growth of the American Indian Movement and the spread of Plains style Pan Indian culture pow wow. This movement had a major effect on the style of Michigan pow wows. Today, Plains style drumming, chanting, and dancing has almost pushed aside the more traditional Algonquian styles native to the Great Lakes area. Little Elk and his friends are the last to practice the old time songs and dances. He has worked long and hard for many years ~o keep alive the traditions of the Anishinabe. Watch for the dance of the Wild Geese, or the song of the Go-Ko-Ko. These are some of the lessons of Little Elk, Chippewa Elder and Ceremonial Chief. �3 Dhem Old Ways i~ b~tter dhan bein mad-ren.

I don't know what she's talkin 'bout. I'm not no Med-cine Man. �Ancient Hi stor_y_ more than The great ice was everywhere, in some places i t wa s a mile thick. The great Ice Age winter poured over everything. Twelve thousand years ago a warm •pring breeze began to melt the great glaciers. Cry•tal clear water trickled across the snow into the earliest of the Great Lakes. For a time, the newly formed lakes were higher than they are today, perhaps a• much as seventy feet above present levels. Much of northern Michigan may have remained ice covered during this period, but as th• great front of snow and ice withdrew from the southern half of the lower peninsula, the exposed land was wet and cold. Th• sands and gravels were slowly occupied by grasslands and sprue• forest. Caribou, mastodon, mammoth, moose, and smaller game followed. Here too were found the early hunters, the post glacial Native Americans - the Ancient Ones - the Paleo Indians. These people were nomadic hunters who moved their small kinship based societies frequently, following the game and wild plant foods as the seasons changed. Their rare and ancient camp sites are most easily recognized by the repeated finds of fluted spear points in a small area. These chipped stone tool• are easily recognized by the presence of one or more long flakes having been removed from the concave base towards the tip of the point. By about 9,000 years ago the climate had slowly warmed and a pine forest began to dominate the landscape. The waters of the great lakes had found an outlet, flowing eastward out of Georgia Bay and eventually into the St. Lawerence River. The lakes drained quite low, as much as 390 feet below their present levels. The original Paleo Indians may have moved northwarp, following their environment and lifestyle as the ice continued its retreat. Some may have stayed on in this area, to be joined by others traveling from th' east, south, or west; it is difficult to say. In southeast Michigan, the stone tools of this time period are often made from cherts and flints from central and southern Ohio and other areas outside of Michigan. It is unknown if these materials were obtained through trade or seasonal migrations, or why local materials were not used more often for making stone tools. Their stone spear tips were no longer fluted but had notches or stems for lashing to the shaft. The spear tips and knives frequently had serrated or beveled blades and the edges of the bases were often gr·ound s,nooth. The barbs or shoulders on these poir1ts would have held fast in an animals fle s h and probably indicate the .\ emergence of blood trailing as a method of following wounded game. These people of the pine forests are known as the Archaic Indians the Old Ones. They survived by hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plant foods • . They did . not yet have maize or practice agriculture, nor did they have pottery though they undoubtedly used wood, bark, and skin containers. By at least 7,000 years ago they began making woodworking tools by chipping, battering, and polishing hard igneous rocks into the basic desired form. Between 7,000 and 3,000 years ago the predominant form of woodworking tool seems to have been the grooved axe, though ungrooved celts, adzes, and gouges . e,ere made as well, particularly ioward the end of this period. The Michigan Barbed Axe is a type of grooved axe restricted to the southern l~wer pe~insula and may be a style representative of an as yet unknown tribe or language group. At this same time, erosion and earth shifting eventually filled former drainage channels and the Great Lakes began to f i 11 again. The lakes reached their present levels but still they rose, at least another thirty five feet, flooding former village sites which had occupied the old lakeshores. During this period people also began making gorgets and bannerstones of beautiful banded slate. It is believed by some, on the basis of careful study, that the bannerstone was affixed to the atlatl or spear thrower handle. The exact purpose of the gorget is unknown. Towards the end of this period, pure raw copper from the Lake Superior region was being mined and hammered into socketed and tanged spear points and knives. This material was traded throughout the midwest and was part of an expanding trade network which included red ochre paint (iron oxide) and marine shells. The available evidence indicates that by 3,500 years ago the climate was warmer and drier than it is today. New varieties of plants and animals from the warm forests of the south slowly moved northward into Michigan. Perhapi it was drier as well, for prairies spread into southwest Michigan from the area of Illinois. In fact, the prairies may have been more extensive then than they were 150 years ago. As a result of these -.J �co environment~l became more changes natural abundant ~nd became hunting, and gathering increasingly productive. It was in this with mixed context of~ warmer climate hardwood forests and rising lakeshores that Indian societies began to abandon and change some of the old ways dramatically. Without studying the people themselve,., it is often difficult to determine if changes in culture represent the movement of ideas by word of mouth, the trading of artifacts, or the actual migration of people bringing their culture with them. What is known for certain is that by 2 1 500 years ago, the Indian people of southwPst Michigan began making thick and relatively plain pottery vessels similar to those being made by the people of the Illinois and Ohio river valleys. This new technology signals the beginning of a new era in Indian history - from this point on the people are known as the Woodland Indians. The appearance of tubular smoking pipes made from stone or clay is also an important development. Small polished stone effigies, known as birdstones, are also manufactured at this time. Cremation burials were frequently accompanied by caches of chipped stone tools and quantitites of red ochre paint. From the perspective of the preceding 9 1 500 years, the Indian cultures have begun to change rapidly. As the Woodland culture develops, burial ceremonial ism becomes increasingly elaborate, perhaps reflecting an increased interest in the identity and continuity of tribal or lineage groups. The great burial mounds of the Grand River valley are a mute testament to the widespread contacts of these people 2,000 year ago. Their tradition• were very similar to those practiced by the people of Illinois and central Ohio known today as the Hopewell subculture. Variations of Hopewell patterns spread throughout the eastern woodlands region, but in Michigan it was located from the Saginaw Valley to the Grand Valley and south to the St. Joesph River. These people made elaborate pottery vessels, were excellant flint knappers, and made beautiful utilitarian and ceremonial items of copper, foods fishing, ~Jt~)I ';.;:;;;>.; ~ ~ :?,.r., C.'-$ ~·~·2-~~ ··---~ ~ shel 1, stone, mica, bone, ~.- ·1 wood. They are noted for the! r stone or clay platform style pipes, some of which bore artistic representations of people and animals. The cultural materials from Saginaw are Hopewellian in general nature, but there is also enough difference to suggest that the area was occupied by a group of people socially distinct from those on the western side of the lower peninsula. Though the available evidence is not entirely convincing, the first corn in Michigan may have been cultivated by Woodland Indians practicing the Hopwell culture. For northern and south•a•t Michigan, the evidence for a Hopewell culture occupation i• lacking. It is presently un~nown if the people near the Detroit River were following tradition• similar to those recognized for earlier or later times or if the region was simply unoccupied. In the upper peninsula and the northern part of the lower peninsula there was another cultural tradition representing the Woodland period which was different from the Hopewell of mor• southernly regions. These northern people may have relied more heavily on fishing, hunting, and food collecting for the north woods were too cold for the early types of corn. Exactly why the Hopewell culture fell out of favor is unclear, but by 1,500 years ago it had been replaced by the traditions of the Late Woodland period. For much of th• state, long distance trade for exotic raw materials and the placement of fine articles with the dead seems to have ceased or at least dramatically declined, but in southeast Michigan and the Saginaw Valley these practices continued in a somewhat different form which maintained ties toward the east as far as New York state. By 1,000 years ago th•se practices seem to have ceased as well. By now, corn agriculture was well established throughout the southern part of the state and may have been cultivated in certain areas of the upper peninsula much as it was during the later historic period. Pottery vessels were quite large, perhaps indicating larger family or household By 600 years ago, it seems �hostilitie. nad broken out in the region, for fortified village sites begin to appear in three broad regions. Located in liouthwestern Michigan, the northern part of the lower penin.ula, and the thumb region; each of the.e three series of forts appear. to represent different pat terns of land ulie and ecological adaptation by the inhabitanta. Whether these site. repre.ent tribal group•, individual bands, or intertribal confederacies is unknown. The upper peninaula wa. also occupied at this time, with a new style of pottery beginning to appear at the village .ites. Mgdern Hl5tory The French were the firat to intrude into · the region of Michi9an'• upper penin!iula in the 17th centuri. In the early 1620's Brule ' and Grenobl" traveled from Montreal to the area now known ali Sault St. Marie. In 1634 1 Jean Nicolet pa•sed along the &outh &hare of the upper peninsula on his journery to the area of Gr .. en Bay. In subsequent year& other Frenchmen passed through the upper peninsula area on thsir way to a mission &ite on the we&tern shores of Lake Superior where the Iroquoian Huron · tribe had fled after being attacked in th.,ir Ontario homeland by the New York Iroquois. In 1668, Father& Marqusfts and Dablon establ1ahed a Christian mission at Sault St. Marie for the Ottawa Chippewa, and Huron survivors later known aa the Wyandot. In '1671 1 Marquette &tarted another .mission at the pre&ent sits of St. · Ignace. Though it i• well known that the Chippewa and Ottawa lived in thi& area during the mission period, they may ha~e been rslatively new to the area. In , the mid 1800's, the elderli of the Chippewa tribe taught that their people, along with the Ottawa and Potawatomi, had mov•d into thi• area only 1,everal generation·• befors · thli arrival of' the French. Just who might have occupied the area prior to their arrival iii unknown, ·but they were preceded my many thou•and• of years of occupation. Perhaps it wa& originally their mortal en11mi6's, the Dalwta or other Siouan •peakers, for they ware moving westward during the historic period ·and may have come from a more eastern homeland. What was happening in the lower peninsula during the early 1600 ' s i& even les& clear. Indian traditions do not agree, and historical studies are faced with limited written source•. The general consensus at this time seems to be that most if not all of the lower penirn; ula was occupied by people speaking Algonquian languages. The Potawatomie ars believed by mdny to have resided in the western and southwestern portion of the state, though they may have been newcomer!i here as well, having recently split from the Ottawa and Chippewa to the north. Just who might have occupied southwtest Michigan before th~m, if the historical accounts of the N1shnabe ' elders are correct, is unknown. It would seem that the fortified villdge~ may belong to an earlier people, substequently displaced from the region. Central and southeastern Michigan were probably occupied by the Mascouten, Sauk, Fox, and perhaps two other groups which did not survive the trddgediea of the early historic period. The Kickapoo people, closely linked with the preceding tribes, may ha v e lived in the Toledo area according to early French sources. Howev er, s o me students of history have suggested that southeast Michigan was occupied by Iroquoian people 600 years ago after driving out the original inhabitants of the region. The actual tribal identity of many sarly villages is unknown. Historical evidence and Indian tradition state that much of southern Michigan was virtually abandoned by 1650 as a result of attacks by what was then the Five Nations Iroquois who wished to control a wider territory for the acquisition of furs and to gain a larger share of the trade with the Europeans. No doubt other factors of inter tribal politics were involved, but the advent of the fur trade and contacts with Europeans resulted in a great wave of aocial disruption which washed across the Great Lakes region. The Iroquois controled the lower great lakes in their effort to divsrt trade to the British, who did not travel as far and wide as the early French missionaries and traders. In the late 1660's, a treaty with the Iroquois enabled the French to explore the area of southeast Michigan which was essentially unoccupied. In an effort to gain greater control over the expanding EurcpeanIndian fur trade, the French fort of St. Joseph was established on the St. Clair River near the present ai\e of Port Huron in 1686. This fort was abandoned two year&:l a ter , ,but a second Fort St. Joseph was established for the same purpose - on the St. Joseph River in southwest Michigan in 1691. In . 1701 Cadillac moved the military installation from Ft. De Buade in St. Ignace down to Detr·oit in an efforc to establish economic control over the passageway between Lake Huron and the lower great lakes of Erie and Ontario. It was with the enducement to trade under the protection of the French fort at Detroit, that portions of the Huron, Ottawa, Potawatomi and other tribes moved to southe•st Michigan along the Detroit River. About the same time, Ottawa and Chippewa communities moved southward into other areas of the lower peninsula. Ths Pot•tawatomi and occasionally the Miami were l:nown to occupy southwestern Michigan while the Sauk, Fox, Mascouten, and Kickapoo had moved westward into Wisconsin. At the close of the French and Indian War during the fall of 1760 1 the British seized control of French settlements throughout the great lakes region. Th• Indian peoples now had to contend with a new European power which held a less hospitable attitude toward them. In 1761, the Iroquois tried to encourage th• Nishinabe' of the Michigan region to join them in an attack upon the British, but they refused, apparently waiting to see how the new Europeans intended to carry on their economic and political ties with the Indians. It was only two years later however, that Chief Pontiac organized the famous effort to destroy the British posts throughout the midwest. By 1763, the traditionli of the Indiana had changed rad1cally1 rum and brandy, guns, brass kettles, iron knives and tomahaw~•, glass beads, and other itsms had had serious effects _on the material and spiritual nature of Indian society. Pontiac, like many traditional leaders before and after him, urged a return to the old ways. He urg~d the Indian people to drive the Europeans from their region and to abandon their dependence upon goods of European manufacture. The fur trade and ruined the traditional economy. The making of traditional pottery had been abandoned, effective atone tools were no longer manufactured. -Farming was sometimes considered ~ �Along the Lake H~ron shore, six miles north of the present town of Rogers City there is yet another sacred rock. This huge rectangular boulder has been reported as twenty feet long, siK feet high, and et'ght feet wide. When the lake is low it sits at the waters edge, but usually it is a hundred or more yards from the beach. Long ago, the Indian · people who traveled in the area of this rock left sacrificed dogs and other gifts upon this sacred spot. During the 1q2o·s some people in the area still followed the old ways by leaving offerings of tobacco on the stone. In 1qoq Frederick Larke recorded the Indian tradition of this sacred rdck(Hlnsdale 1q301. Ages ago, where the rock now stands, was the boundary line between the hunting grounds of two Indian tribes; the chief of the one was eKceedingly aggressive and frequently trespassed upon the preserves of the neighboring tribe, and iri so doing had caused much trouble and bloodshed to follow these eKcursions. At last the chiefs of fhe two tribes met, when the one as usual was trespassing over the border, and an altercation ensued which would probably have again resulted in a bloody war between the conflicting tribes, but Ki.tchie M@nitou, the Great Spirit, who was up Lake Superior at the time, became disgusted wilt• both of them, seized hold of the Sacred Rock and hurled it down, crushing both the chiefs beneath its immense weight, which was so great that the banks above the beach have been sliding and trembling ever since. The famous White Rock is also said to have been a large boulder. Today, ·this rock lies·· several hundred yards off &here and protrudes above the surface of the lake only a small amount. Located just north . of the small town in Michigan's thumb which bears its name, this rock was also considered sacred and was a focal point for dog sacrifice and tobacco offerings. Much like the stone destroyed by the priests on the Detroit River, the great White Rock was · believed to have the power to offer safe passage while traveling on the lake in exchange for gifts and . prayers. The white man's local tradition states that during prohibition in the 1920's it had been large enough to accommodate a bl ind pig and dance floor. It is also said that during World War II the sacred rock was used as a practice bombing target by the air forces of Canada and the United States. This reportedly accounts for its small size today, though another person who visited the rock before World War II claims it was not much larger then than it is now. N r-i About four miles north of St. Ignace is Rabbit's Rock, named after its appearance when viewed from a distance. "It is an immense, high rock, and on account of its shape was supposed, by the Indians, to be inhabited by a manitou. When they paddled by, they would stop and make offerings of tobacco, supposing it to be a great spirit that once presided over their ancestors, and always treated it with reverential r•spect." In earlier days, there was a sacred stone on the high hill overlooking Hubbard Lake. Thia was referr•d to as the "Indian Worship" stone and was said to have marked the grave of Sedonikato, a great Chippewa Chief. "Indian hunters and trappers, and even some Whitemen of earlier days, often brought offerings of beads and tobacco, and left them at the monument as an act of worship. Old residents remember this stone image as having a hollow head, or an opening in the natural stone formation of the head, and that the votive offerings were placed in this cavity." Many years ago, it is reported, the grave was dug up and the stone was taken away to Pittsburg in 1880. Today, the area is being eubdivided and developed as a vacation resort. On the trail between Grand Blanc and Flint, there was a beautiful rise of ground which produced numerous wild plums of very fine quality. Amongst the trees on this wonderful grassy knoll "stood a peculiarly shaped stone, perhaps four feet high •••••• They called it Bab-o-quah." The Indian people always &topped at this clearing as it was a place of worship. This spirit stone was taken by a Capt. Jacob Stevens in 1823-4, but the Indian people forced him to return it. It's subsequent history is unknown. Southeast of Mt. Pleasant another powerful spirit stone once stood along the banks of the Pin• River where the Indian people "stopped and worshipped by a speech or a smoke. They also left other articles in addition to pieces of tobacco, and among ·t hem were pieces of copper which ••••• were cut from the copper bowlder on the Ontonagon River, Lake Superior." Many other powefful sacred stones have been honored throughout the Great Lakes region. Some, such as the Turtle Rock, and Gull Rocks were named after creatures they obviously resembled.

The Pow-Wow has a very historic value to the American Indians. These dances and gatherings have gone on for hundreds of years. Historically in the Michigan area these gatherings were in the spring and summer. At this time the trading took place and the people had a chance to get together and see their family and friends whom they had not seen all winter. Today the people still gather and hold these dances. They have a chance to meet old friends and make new ones. They also use this time to help educate Non-Indians to the Indian way of life. GRAND ENTRY First event of a Pow-Wow dance is to create a circle, loosely on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing a sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief in and continuation of the old ways. Because so much attention both spiritual and physical is focused on this event the people in front do indeed have a great place of honor and responsibility. �FLAG SORG The flag song to the Indian people is the same as the national an'!:hem to Non-Indians. All people will be asked to remov.e their hats for all veterans who have served their people. CBILDRER & ELDERS During the Pow-wow, wisdom passes from the elders mou~h, t~ the child's ear. To the Indian people, the elders and children are particularly important. Both ·the ·young, who are just beginning their journey through life, and the elders, who are near completion of their journey, share - a closeness to the Creator that those of the IN-BETWEEN ages sometimes lose. To those who have newly arrived and to those who will soon leave it, the world is especially beautiful. TRADERS Before the introduction of beads and silver, our people made arm bands out of copper and embroidered their clothing with dyed moose hair. When glass beads needles, and hats were introduced the Indian trader became an integral part of every Pow-wow. Traders supply the materials needed for arts and crafts as well a s beadwork, mocas sins and basketry. Special foods have also become available at Pow-wows and no Pow-wow is complete without a bowl of corn soup and a piece of frybread. �·, r ~~·,,~ ~ ~ ' ,,~ . ~ - ·~ ;- ~, . : In Memory Of Arnold And Margaret Sowmick A tragic accident claimed the lives of Arnold and Margaret Sowmick on July 29, 1990. Arnold was the Chief of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, and together with his wife, Margaret, were well respected by all who knew them. Their untimely deaths stunned the Saginaw Chippewa Indian community and will leave a distinct void not easily filled. Arnold served on the Tribal Council since 1961. Between 1971 and 1982 he served in the capacity of Tribal Sub-Chief; since 1982 Mr. Sowmick guided the Tribe's direction as its Chief. Chief Sowmick grew up on a farm in Isabella County and lettered in football, baseball, and track in high school. He served in the U.S. Air Force for four years, including tour of duty in Korea. Chief Sowmick worked at Dow Corning in Midland from 1956 until he retired in 1988. Among his many credits, Chief Sowmick can list the respect of the Saginaw Chippewa people, as well as other groups, organizations, and business people who worked with him. He was known as a quiet, gentle leader who accomplished things in subtle ways. He did not lead his people with the use of power, but guided them with love and wisdom. Under his leadership, the Tribe gained control of its $10 million land claim settlement and established a perpetual investment trust fund, reduced unemployment from 65% to around 10%, established a home ownership program, upgraded the community's water system, increased the Tribal land base by 25%, and established a number of new Tribal programs and construction projects for the benefit of Tribal members. Chief Sowmick sat on a number of boards including the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce, Middle Michigan Development Corporation, Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan, Inc., Union Township East Downtown Development Authority and the East Central Michigan Planning and Development Region. For his dedication and continued leadership, Chief Sowmick was named Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce in 1988, was named as Grand Marshal of the Central Michigan University Homecoming Parade in 1989, and received the Indian Leadership Award from the Bureau of Indian Affairs also in 1989. In addition, several of the programs instituted under Chief Sowmick's leadership received national recognition, including the homeownership and health promotion/disease prevention programs. Besides providing a constant source of support for her husband, Margaret Sowmick was active in a number of activities, including the raising of their six children. Margaret was a member of the Michigan Indian Review Board which was involved in addressing substance abuse issues among Indian people . Margaret was also active in education programs and issues and served as a teacher/aide in the Tribe's Headstart program. Both Arnold and Margaret were involved with organizing and attending Tribal pow wows. All of those who knew Arnold and Margaret Sowmick will surely be touched in some way by their passing. They showed by example what hard work, dedication, leadership, and love for one another could accomplish during a lifetime. Although they are no longer with us, their spirits continue to be present in all they touched. It is up to the rest of us to continue their legacy into the future by example and deed for the benefit of all. �TIM J. DAVIS TRIBAL SOB-CHIEF DEANE KENT TRIBAL OPERATIONS OFFICER ... -~ I DERRIL B.

SENIOR HIGH GRADUATION - 1955 SAGINAW CHIPPEWA TRIBAL CHAIRMAN - 1975 - 1982 I remember cleaning his office after he was gone. It was one of the hardest things to do. But, looking around at the papers, pictures and knick knacks that were collected over the years were just reflections of his character. There was a little sign that he kept on his desk that resembled him the most and it was ... Coming together is a beginning Keeping together is progress Working together is success!!!! With Daddy, it was a team effort that he believed in, not a one man show. KIM (daughter) 9/J. .@1"() �A TRIBUTE TO PETER D. OTTO "DESIDERATA" Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to want virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Take kindly to counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortunes. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God whatever you conceive him to be and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. -Marlene Jackson �Barbara (FAWN) Sprague •••••••...••..•.••••.•.•.•. Chairperson/Sec.

He is the dancer who carries the flag during the Grand Entry and represents all of the Indian people who gave their lives for our country. He also is the dancer who leads the rest of the dancers in the Grand Entry. Master of Ceremonies - John V. Bailey Throughout the weekend, Mr. Bailey has the task of guiding the Pow-Wow. Not only will he announce particular features of the Pow-Wow, but also explain the culture and customs that are seen during the Pow-Wow. Mr. Bailey may receive requests for special dances and songs. Host Drum-------------- TWO HAWKS Head Singer------------ Phil Memberto Grand Rapids, MI ~ Quality voices, solid and strong beats, make TWO HAWKS an~ outstanding host drum. They will set the format for the dance and sing the honor songs. Songs may be to honor a birthday; a marriage, or a death. The American Indian is distinguished by certain things, certain perceptions of himself in relationship to the world around him. He is someone who thinks of himself in a certain way; percisely equal to his own idea of himself. Nature is good, believes the Indian, and so is man because he is a part of her. Language provides the Most Eleborate form of human communication. LANGUAGE IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF A CULTURE. MR. FRANK BUSH r , 1 �Little Elk's Retreat ( l ' - $ / August sa9, 87 �Continued - page 2 Head Male Dancer-------George Martin Hopkins, MI Head Female Dancer-----Sid Martin Hopkins, MI To be chosen as the Head Dancer is a distinct honor and carries the responsibility of upholding the ways handed down from thi ancestors. The Head Dancers lead the dancers into inter-tribal and speciality dances, putting in a rigorous weekend at a pow-wow. They are living examples of the traditions of the American Indian. Head Male Judge-------to be announced Head Eemale Judge----------Judith Pamp Lansing, MI GEORGE MARTIN FLAG SONG: The flag song to the Indian people is the same as the national anthem to Non-Indians. All people will be asked to remove their hats for all veterans who have served their people. GRAND ENTRY: First event of a Pow-Wow dance is to create a circle, loosely on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing a sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief in and continuation of the old ways. Because so much attention both spiritual and physical is focused on this event the p~ople in front do indeed have a great place of honor and responsibility. THE POW-WOW: Also known as a dance or a doings. The Pow•Wow has a very historic value to the American Indians. These dances and gatherings ha~e gone on for hundreds of years. Historically in the Michigan area these gatherings were in the spring and summer. At this time the trading took place and the people had a chance to get together and see their family and friends whom they had not seen all winter. Today the people still gather and hold these dances. They have a chance to meet old friends and make new ones. They also use this time to help educate Non-Indians to the Indian ways of life. �ty rs -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-· ~ ~ Jerry's Transmission Service .,t/u/omaJic </'14,umiUJo,u STANDARDS AND CLUTCHES GENERAL REPAIR JEROME VOGED, Ou·ner MT, PLEASANT, MICH. 48858 QUAITITY WE M:C£'1f000 STAMPS INiHTS l£SlfflD I' COLD BEEi I STOI[ HOURS ' ~ 'DIYS AIIUI MN., T11111., Wltl., 111an..

Afternoon Dance and Adult Dance Contest �Traders Before the introduction of beads and silver, our people made arm bands out of copper and embroidered their clothing with dyed moose hair. When glass beads, needles and hats were intrqduced the Indian Trader became an intergral part of every Pow-Wow. Traders supply the materials needed for arts and crafts as well as beadwork, mocassins and basketry. Special foods have also become available at PowWows and no Pow-Wow is complete without a bowl of corn soup and a piece of Fry Bread. Language provides the most eleborate form of human communication, but Indians, like people everywhere, have developed other forms that serve limited functions. Sign language is one of these, Smoke Signaling is another; across the open country of the plains & the southwest, Indians apparently employed combinations of long & short puffs to represent such messages as the presence of buffalo or the approach of enemies. Language is the LIFEBLOOD of a culture The American Indian is distinguished by certain things, certain perceptions of himself in relationship to the world around him. He is someone who thinks of himself in a certain way; percisely equal to his own idea of himself. Nature is good, believes the Indian, and so is man because he is a part of her. �J CHILDREN & ELDERS During the Pow wow, wisdon passes from the elders mouth, to the child's ear. To the Indian people, the elders and children are particularly important. Both the young, who are just beginning their journey through life, and the elders, who are near completion of their journey, share a closeness to the Creator that those of the IN-BETWEEN ages sometimes lose. To those who have newly arrived and to those who will soon leave it, the world is especially beautiful. �HONOR SONGS: It is a custom of the people that these songs be show the special respect of all present by their standing and removing their hats. The songs may be to honor a birthday, a marriage, or a death. All NATIONS HOST DRUM There will be several drums at the dance. The host drum will set the format for the dance and sing the honor songs.

Fran this point on, the Indian people rapidly began to lose what remained of their traditional way of life as the American and British governments began to expand their territorial control in North America. The Indian territories were ceded to the United States in a series of treaties which were often forced upon the Indian people or drawn up and ratified witmut their consent. In 1807, the Treaty of Detroit wrested much of southeast Michigan fran the control of the ottawa, Potawatani, and Wyandot. In 1817, a small area of southern Michigan technically acquired fran the ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatani in the Foot of the Rapids Treaty. Much of the central and northeastern portion of the lower peninsula was obtained fran the Chippewa in the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819. The Treaty of Chicago laid American claim to much of southwestern Michigan in 1821. The Potawatani lost their hold on extreme southwestern Michigan in the Carey Mission Treaty of 1828. The ottawa and Chippewa lost the northwestern part of the lower peninsula and the eastern two thirds (2/3) of the upper peninsula in the 1836 Treaty of Washington. The Western U.P. was a<XIU:ired by the United States in the Treaty of La Pointe (1842) and the Cedar Point Treaty of 1836. The Indian people lost rrost of the Michigan peninsula in the smrt span of 35 yrs. Many reservations were pranised, but few have survived to this day. Sare are described in early county histories, but no mention of them can be found in later historical docurrents. Others were later claimed by the U.S. government and settled by Anglo-Americans, or were only intended to last for the smrt tenn of five (5) years until the Indian people could be reroved to the. Kansas Territory. At least one, perhaps rrore, seem to have been incorporated into contarporary government forests. Families which had received individual allotments were sanetimes swindled out of their remaining land, or had to sell it under duress in an effort to obtain rroney to survive in a cash econcmy when treaty payments were illegally stopped. Sare of the original people rroved to Canada in the hopes of finding a better life, others rroved westward, while still others remained in Michigan regardless of the hardships they had to endure. Today the United States gobernment officially recognizes a fraction of the original treaty lands. Federally recognized reservations and Indian catmunities are located in the upper peninsula near Watersmeet, Ontonagon, Baraga, Hannaville, Bay Mills and Sault St. Marie. In the lower peninsula Peshawbetown, Saganing, and Mt. Pleasant are all that remain of the reservations which were originally set aside. There is another Indian carmunity at Athens in the southwestern part of Michigan which is officially recognized by the State. The Indian people claim that there are other lands which are rightfully theirs based on early treaty agreements, but little official information is available. other aspects of early treaty settlements which have not been upheld, such as hunting and fishing rights and cash payrrents for land, are presently being considered in Federal courts. Today, many Indian people live in cities and towns throughout Michigan where their carmunities are no longer officially recognized. Urban, industrialized centers such as Detroit, have also becane the h:xnes of Indian people fran the south and west as they adapt to rrodern econanic developnents. The Michigan Camnission on Indian Affairs estimates that there are presently 60,000 Indians living in the State of Michigan. Their rrodern history has been difficult and tragic, yet each generation has seen the emergence of tmse wm have chosen to teach, maintain the everchanging spiritual andcultural traditions of their ancestors. �CASH OONATIONS: Goodrow & Wakely Associates of Mt.

His father was called Thomas Nadamupt and his mother Jenny Zhow No Gee Zhick. The second of four children, he was born in a two room log cabin near the shore of Vaughn Lake south of Glennie in Alcona county. His parents named him Wash Esh KO'TI - "Flash of Lightening. " He was born into the Bear Clan of the Swan Creek Band of Chippewa. After moving from their home near Quanicassee in Tuscola county, his parents had settled in Alcona county as homesteaders at the end of the lumber jack era. Flash-of-Lightening and his father and uncles hunted, fished, and trapped along the Au Sable River and followed many of the old traditions. As a young boy he witnessed the last publicly held Medicine Dance about 1905. When he first attended the whiteman's school as a boy, Flash-of-Lightening understood only Anishnabe, he had a difficult time learning to understand the teacher's lessons but he soon began to learn the foreigners language. He has lived to see the day when many young Anishnabe speak only English or understand their traditional language poorly. At the urging of the white missionaries Flash-of-Lightening took the Biblical name "Eli" and added it to the assumed surname of Thomas about 1916. During his early life, Eli worked as a lumberjack, a farm hand and a carpenter. He was known as a champion log burler who helped build the Bamfield Dam, on the AuSable in the 1920's. In 1924 Eli ma.rried Betsy Pontiac at the Indian Mission Church twenty miles east of Glennie. Later they moved to the Isabella Reservation near Mt. Pleasant. Late in the 1920's they met a whiteman named Curtiss who was traveling through the area with a goup of Indian performers putting on educational shows. Eli and Betsy joined this historical program and toured the corrmunities and schools throughout the state. After a short time the aging Mr. Curtis turned the program over to Eli Thoma.sand bestowed upon him the name Little Elk. In ma.ny respects, this was the beginning of the return of Indian Pow Wows in the State of Michigan, for Little Elk and his ma.ny friends have worked hard and long for ma.ny years to keep alive the traditions of the Anishnabe. Throughout the 1930's and 40's Little Elk and the others traveled to ma.ny of the one room school houses providing educational programs and public shows to teach and keep alive the Indian Way, especially the wide variety of story dances honoring the mysterious forces of nature. In the 1950's and early 60's growing prosperity in the State brought a boom in tourism which supported a number of Pow Wow -like programs in several areas of Michigan. For decades Little Elk had participated in and organized the programs at a gift shop near Houghton Lake. For ma.ny ma.ny young Indians and whites, participation in this tourist program has been both an educational experience and a way to have a little fun. About 1960, Little Elk and his close associates; Anthony Chingma.n, Foster Otto, Ike Peltcher, Lennie Stevens, Billy Elk, Lucy Peltcher, Leonard Parrp, Alice Bennett, Maggie Jackson, Louis Pontiac, Elsie Stevens and many others began the present Pow Wow Trail throughout southeast Ontario and southern Michigan. Soon the rising tide of social awareness and political militancy which swept the country in the late 1960's and saw the rise of the American Indian Movement had its effect on the forms of the Michigan Pow Wows. Plains style drurrming, chanting, and dancing has almost pushed aside the traditional Anishnabe songs and dances of the Great Lakes area. �At the age of 86, Little Elk and his friends continue to keep alive the ancient traditions of their Chippewa ancestors. Watch closely and you may see the Wild Goose Dance, The Deer Dance, the Dance of the Corn Maidens, or the Pipe Dance. Though bent and wrinkled, Little Elk is still vigorous in step and quick of wit. He continues to spread the ways and words of his people. Little Elk is not alone, his family is growing into the future. Besides his daughter Eleanor Sprague and stepson Little Bear Strong, he has seven grandsons, three granddaughters, four great grandsons, thirteen great granddaughters, two great great grandsons, and three great great granddaughters. Ahow! �HONOR SONGS: It is a custom of the people that these songs be shown the special respect of all present by their standing and removing their hats. The songs may be to honor a birthday, a marriage, or a death. �THE POW-WOW Also known as a dance or a doings. The PowWow has a very historic value to the American Indians. These dances and gatherings have gone on for hundreds of years. Historically in the Michigan area these gatherings were in the spring and summer. At this time the trading took place and the people had a chance to get together and see their family and friends whom they had not seen all winter. Today the people stil I gather and hold these dances. They have a chance to meet old friends and make new ones. They also use this time to help educate Non1nd ians to the Indian way of life. GRAND ENTRY First event of a Pow-Wow dance is to create a circle, loosely on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing a sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief in and continuation of the old ways. Because so much attention both spiritual and physical is focused on this event the people in front do indeed have a great place of honor and responsibility. FLAG SONG The flag song to the Indian people is the same as the national anthem to Non-Indians. All people will be asked to remove their hats for all veterans who have served their people. �The Pow-Wow Committee wishes to recognize: HEAD VETERAN: Frank Bush, U.S. Marine Corps, VETERAN DANCER The veteran dancer is one of the most important dancers in the Pow-wow. He is the dancer who carries the flag during the Grand Entry and represents all of the Indian people who gave their lives for our country. He also is the dancer who leads the rest of the dancers in the Grand Entry. All NATIONS HOST DRUM There will be several drums at the dance. The host drum will set the format for the dance and sing the honor songs. B. BEARSKIN JR. �MASTER OF CEREMONIES: John Bosin Throughout the weekend, Mr. Bosin has the task of guiding the Pow-Wow. Not only will he announce particular features of the Pow-Wow, but also explain the culture and customs that are seen during the Pow-Wow he receives requests for special dances and songs. HEAD FEMALE DANCER - HEAD MALE DANCER - Julie Whitepigeon Jerry Pigeon It is considered a distinct honor to be chosen as a head dancer because the position carries the responsibility of upholding the ways handed down from the ancestors. The head dancers lead the dancers into inter-tribal and speciality dances, putting in rigorous weekend at a pow-wow, They are living examples of the traditions of the American Indian. �TRADERS Before the introduction of beads and silver, our people made arm bands out of copper and embroidered their clothing with dyed moose hair . When glass beads, needles, and hats were introduced the Indian trader became an integral part of every Pow-wow . Traders supply the materials needed for arts and crafts as well as beadwork, mocassins and basketry . Special foods have also become available at Pow-wows and no Pow-wow is complete without a bowl of corn soup and a piece of fry bread. �CHILDREN & ELDERS During the Pow wow, wisdon passes from the elders mouth, to the child's ear. To the Indian people, the elders and children are particularly important. Both the young, who are just beginning their journey through life, and the elders, who are near completion of their journey, share a closeness to the Creator that those of the IN-BETWEEN ages sometimes lose. To those who have newly arrived and to those who will soon leave it, the world is especially beautiful. �A pow-wow is each individual human being unique in their own ways but of one mind bringing about happiness, joy, sadness and sorrow, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally bringing together all of the parts to make one great experience for each.

His father was called Thomas Nadamupt and his mother Jenny Zhow No Gee Zhick. The second of four children, he has born in a two room log cabin near the shore of Vaughn Lake just south of the town of Glennie in Alcona County. His parents named him Wash Esh l<om - "Flash-of-Lightening." He had been born into the Bear Clan of the Swan Creek Band of Chippewa. After moving from their home near Quanicassee in Tuscola County, his parents had settled near Glennie as homesteaders at the end of the lumberjack era. Flash-of-Lightening and his father and uncles hunted, fished, and trapped along the AuSable River and followed many of the old traditions. As a young boy he witnessed the last publicly held Medicine Dance about 1905. When he first attended the Whiteman's school, Flashof-Lightening spoke only the Chippewa language. At first he had a difficult time understanding the teacher's lessons but he soon began to learn the foreign language. He has lived to see they day when many young Indians speak only English or understand very little of their traditional language. At the urging of the White missionaries, Flash-ofLightening took the biblical name "Eli" and added it to the assumed surname of Thomas. This occured about 1916. During his early life, Eli worked as a lumberjack, a farm hand, and a carpenter. At one time he aspired to being a preacher in a Christian church. In 1924 Eli married Besty Pontiac at the Indian Mission Church twenty miles east of Glennie. Later they moved to the Isabella Reservation near Mt. Pleasant. Late in the 1920's they met a "Whiteman" named Curtis who was traveling through the area with a group of Indians performing educational shows. Eli and Betsy joined this historical program and toured the communities and schools throughout Michigan. After a short time, the aging Mr. Curtis turned the program over to Eli Thomas and bestowed upon him his own name of "Little Elk." In many respects, this was the beginning of the return of Indian Pow Wows for much of Michigan for Little Elk and his many friends have worked long ' and hard for many years to revive and keep alive the traditions of the Anishinaabeg. " _. .., J, ~ "'" ::! �Throughout the 1930's and 40's Little Elk and the others traveled to many of the one room school houses providing educational programs and public shows to teach the Indian Way. They paid particular attention to story dances which honored the mysterious forces of nature. In the 1950's and early 60's growing prosperity in Michigan brought a boom in tourism which supported a number of Pow Wow - like programs in several areas of the State. For decades Little Elk has participated in and organized the programs at a gift shop near Houghton Lake. For many youhg Indians and Whites, participation in this tourist program has been both an educational experience and a way to have a little fun. About 1960, Little Elk and his close associates; Anthony Chingman, Foster Otto, Ike Peltcher, Lennie Stevens, Billy Elk, Lucy Peltcher, Leonard Pamp, Alice Bennett, Maggie Jackson, Louis Pontiac, Elsie Stevens, and many others began the present Pow Wow Trail throughout southwest Ontario and southern Michigan. Also at this time Teofila Lucero and John Bosin introduced styles of singing and danceing which they were familiar with from the southern plains and the southwestern United States. Soon the rising tide of social awareness and political militancy saw the growth of the American Indian Movement and the spread of Plains style Pan Indian culture. This had a major effect on the form of the Michigan Pow Wows. Today, Plains style drumming, chanting, and dancing has almost pushed aside the Anishinaabeg traditions native to the Great Lakes area. Little Elk and his friends are the last to practice the old time songs and dances. Watch for the dance of the Wild Geese, or the song of the Go-Ko-Ko. These are some of the lessons of Little Elk, Chippewa Elder and Ceremonial Chief. �~ ·' ;-, ,;: r- . rx ,~,. ··'"'. ... .'t. Long time ago I was pickin huckleberries.

The great Ice Age winter poured over everything. ·rwelve thousand years ago a warm spring breeze began to melt the great glaciers. Crystal clear water trickled across the snow into the earliest of the Great Lakes. For a time, the newly formed lakes were higher than they are today, perhaps as much a~ seventy feet above pre&ent levels. Mu c h of northern Michigan may have remained ice covered during this period, but as the great front of snow and ice withdrew from the southern half of the lower peninsula, the exposed land was wet and cold. The sands and gravels were slowly occupied by grassl•nds and sprue~ forest. Caribou, mastodon, mammoth, moose, and smaller game followed. Here too were found the early hunters, the post glacial Native Americans - the Ancient Ones - the Paleo Indians. These people were nomadic hunters who moved their small kinship based societies frequently, following the game and wild plant foods as the seasons changed. Their ra re and ancient camp sites are mo st easily recognized by the repeated finds of fluted spear points in a small area. These chipped stone tools are easily recognized by the presen c e of one or more long flakes having been removed from the concave base towards the tip of the point. By about 9,000 years ago the climate had slowly warmed and a pine fore st began to d ominate the landscape. The wat ers of the great lakes had found an outlet, flowing eastward out of Georgia Bay and eventually into the S t. Lawerence River. The lakes drained quite low, as much as 390 feet below their present l eve l s . The original Paleo Indians may have moved northwar~, following their environment and lifestyle as the ic e continued it s ret reat. Some may have stayed on in this area, to be joined by others traveling from th~ east, south, or west; it i s difficult to say. In southeast Michigan, the stone tools of thi s time period are often made from c hert s an d flints from centra l and souther n Ohio and other areas outside of Mi chigan . It 1s unknown 1f these materials were obtained thr ough trade or sea sonal migrations, or why materials wer e not used more often l oc al for making stone tools. Their stone spear tip s were no longer fluted t1ut had 11otches or stems for last1ing to the shaft. Tt1~ spear tips and ~(n1ves frequently had ~errated or beve l ed blades and the edges of the bdses were often ground b1nooth .

' emergence of blood trailing as a method of following wounded game, These people of the pine forests are known as the Archaic Indians the Old Ones. They survived by hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plant foods. They did not yet have maize or practice agriculture, nor did they have pottery though they undoubtedly used wood, bark, and skin containers. By at least 7,000 years ago they began making woodworking tools by chipping, battering, and polishing hard igneous rocks into the basic desired form. Between 7,000 and 3,000 years ago the predominant form of woodworking tool seems to have been the grooved axe, though ungrooved celts, adzes, and gouges may be been made as well, particularly toward the end of this period. The Michigan Barbed Axe is a type of grooved axe restricted to the southern lower pe~insula and may be a style representative of an as yet unknown tribe or language group. At this same time, erosion and earth shifting eventually filled former drainage channels and the Great Lake2 began to fill again. The lakes reached their present levels but still they rose, at least another thirtyfive feet, flooding former village sites which had occupied the old lakeshores. During this period people also began making gorgets and bannerstones of beautiful banded slate. It is believed by some, on the basis of careful study, that the bannerstone was affi x ed to the atlatl or spear thrower handle. The e x act purpose of the gorget 1s unknown. Towards the end of this period, pure raw copper from the Lake Superior region was being mined and hammered into socketed and tanged spear points and knives. This material was traded throughout the n1idwest and was part of an e x panding trade network which included red ochre paint (iron oxide) and marine shells. The available evidence indi c ates that by 3 , 500 years ago the climate was warmer and drier than it 1s today. New varieties of plants and animals from the warm forests of the south slowly moved north ward into Michigan. Perhaps 1t was drier as well, for prairies spread into ~outhwe~t Michigan from the area of Illinois. In fact, the prairies may have been more e~tensive then than they were 150 years ago .

This new technology signals the beginning of a new era in Indian history - from this point on the people are known as the Woodland Indians. The appearance of tubular smoking pipes made from stone or clay is also an important development • Small polished stone effigies, known as birdstones, are also manufactured at this time. Cremation burials were frequently accompanied by caches of chipped stone tools and quantitites of red ochre paint. From the perspective of the preceding 9,500 years, the Indian cultures have begun to change rapidly. the available c onvincing, of ideas by word of mouth, the trading of artifacts, or the actual migration of people bringing their culture with them.

It is presently unknown if the people near the Detroit River were following traditions similar to those recognized for earlier or later times or if the region was simply unoccupied. In the upper peninsula and the northern part of the lower peninsula there was another cultural tradition representing the Woodland period which was different from the Hopewell of more southernly regions. These northern people may have relied more heavily on fishing, hunting, and food collecting for the north woods were too cold for the early types of corn. Ex actly why the Hopewell culture fell out of favor is unclear, but by 1,500 years ago it had been replaced by the traditions of the Late Woodland period. For much of the state, long distance elaborate, perhaps reflecting an increased interest in the identity and continuity of tribal or lineage groups. The great burial mounds of the Grand River valley are a mute testament to the dramatically declined, but Michigan and the Saginaw in southeast Valley these widespread practices a contacts of these people 2,000 year ago. Their traditions were very similar to those practiced by the people of Illinois and central Ohio known today as the Hopewell subculture. Variations of Hopewell patterns spread throughout the eastern woodlands region, but 1n Michigan it was located from the Saginaw Valley to the Grand Valley and south to the St. Joesph River.

However, some students of history have suggested that southeast Michigan was occupied by Iroquoian people 600 years ago after driving out the original inhabitants of the region. The actual tribal identity of many early villages is unknown. Historical evidence and Indian tradition state that much of southern Michigan was virtually abandoned by 1650 as a result of attacks by what was then the Five Nations Iroquois who wished to control a wider territory for the acquisition of furs and to gain a larger share of the trade with the Europeans. No doubt other factors of inter tribal politics were involved, but the advent of the fur trade and contacts with Europeans resulted in a great wave of social disruption which washed across the Great Lakes region. The Iroquois controled the lower great lakes in their effort to divert trade to the British, who did not travel as far and wide aa the early French missionaries and traders. In the late 1660's, a treaty with the Iroquois enabled the French to explore the area of southeast Michigan which was essentially unoccupied. t:Jii' to \v/1/ of forts appears to represent different patterns of land use and ecological adaptation by the inhabitant&. Whether these sites represent tribal groups, individual bands, or intertribal •/ ·/ /I ~ confederacies is unknown. The upper peninsula was also occupied at this tim&, with a new style of pottery beginning appear at the village sites. to Modern History The French were the first to intrude into the region of Michigan's upper peninsula in the 17th century. In the early 1620's Brule' and Grenoble traveled from Montreal to the area now known as Sault St. Marie. In 1634, Jean Nicolet passed along the south shore of the upper peninsula on his journery to the area of Green Bay. In subsequent years other Frenchmen passed through the upper peninsula are• on their way to a mission site on the western shores of Lake Superior where the Iroquoian Huron tribe had fled after being attacked in their Ontario homeland by the New York Iroquois. In 1668, Fathers Marquette and Dablon established a Christian mission at Sault St. Marie for the Ottawa Chippewa, and Huron survivors later known as the Wyandot. In 1671, Marquette started another mission at the present site of St. Ignace. Though it is well known that the Chippewa and Ottawa lived in this area during the mission period, they may have been relatively new to the area. In the mid 1800's, the elders of the Chippewa tribe taught that their people, along with the Ottawa and Potawatomie had moved into this area only several generations before the arrival of the French. Just who might have occupied the area prior to their arrival is unknown, but they were preceded my many thousands of years of occupation. Perhaps it was originally their mortal enemies, the Dakota or other Siouan speakers, for they were moving westward during the historic p~riod and n1ay have coma from A more eastern homeland. What was happening in the lower peninsula during the early 1600 's is even lesa clear. Indian traditions do not and agree, hi•torical studies are faced with limited written sources. The general consensus at this time seems to be that most if not all of the lower peninsula was occupied by people speaking Algonquian languages. The Potawatomie are believed by many to have resided in the western and southwestern portion of the state, though they may have been newcomers here as well, having recently split from the Ottawa and Chippewa to the north. Just who might have occupied southwest Michigan before them, if the historical accounts of the Nishnabe' elders are correct, is unknown. It would seem that the fortified villdges may belong to an earlier people, subsequently displaced from the region. Central and southeastern Michigan were probably occupied by the Mascouten, Sauk, Fox, arid perhaps two other groups which did not survive the tr•dged1es of the early historic period. The Kickapoo people, closely linked with the preceding tribes, may In an effort to gain greater control over the expanding EuropeanIndian fur trade, the French fort of St. Joseph was established on the St. Clair River near the present site of Port Huron in 1686. This fort was abandoned two years late, but a second Fort St. Joseph was established for the same purpose on the St. Joseph River in southwest Michigan in 1691. In 1701 Cadillac moved the military installation from Ft. De Buade in St. Ignace down to Detroit in an effort to establish economic control over the passageway between Lake Huron and the lower great lakes of Erie and Ontario. It was with the enducement to trade under the protection of the French fort at Detroit, that portions of the Huron, Ottawa, Potawatomi and other tribes moved to southeast Michigan along the Detroit River. About the same time, Ottawa and Chippewa communities moved southward into other areas of the lower peninsula. The Potatawatomi and occasionally the Miami were known to occupy southwestern Michigan while the Sauk, Fox, Mascouten, and Kickapoo had moved westward into Wisconsin. At the close of the French and Indian War during the fall of 1760, the British seized control of French settlements throughout the great lakes region. The Indian peoples now had to contend with a new European power which held a less hospitable attitude toward them. In 1761, the Iroquois tried to encourage the Nishinabe' of the Michigan region to join them in an attack upon the British, but they refused, apparently waiting to see how the new Europeans intended to carry on their economic and political ties with the Indians. It was only two years later however, that Chief Pontiac organized the famous effort to destroy the British posts throughout the midwest. By 1763, the traditions of the Indians had changed rad1Ccllly; rum and brandy, guns, brass kettles, iron knives and toniahawks, glass beads, and other iten1s had had serious effects on the material and spiritual nature of lndiari society. Ponti~c, like many traditional leaders before and after him, urged a return to the old ways. He urged the Indian people to drive the Europeans from their region and to abandon their dependence upon goods of European manufacture. The fur trade and ruined the traditional economy. making of traditional tools pottery had were no longer ,nanufactured. be abandoned, effective The atone Farming was sometimes considered �of little importance, flour being obtained in trade from the Europeans.

Chief Pontiac urged a revival of ancient Indian traditions and an eviction of the British from the Great Lakes region. Late in 1763, Pontiac and his treaty settlements which have not been upheld, such as hunting and fi s hing rights and cash payments for land, are presently being considered in Federal courts. of followers were nearly successful forts, but to no avail. 1n destroying all of the British In 1796, the British began to turn control of the Michigan peninsulas over the the United States. From this point on, the Indian people rapidly began to lose what remained of their traditional way of life as the American and British governments began to expand their territorial control in North America. The Indian territories were ceded Today, many Michigan recognized. Indian people live where in cities and their communities are no Urban, industrialized centers such towns throughout longer officially as Detroit, have also become the homes of Indian people from the south and we§t as they adapt to modern economic developments. The Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs estimates that there are presently 60,000 Indians living in the State of Michigan. Their modern history has been difficult and tragic, yet each generation has seen the emergence of those who have chosen to teach maintain the everchanging spiritual and cultural traditions of their ancestors. to the United State~ in a series of treaties which were often forced upon the Indian people or drawn up and ratified without their consent. In 1807, the Treaty of Detroit wrested much of southeast Michigan from the control of the Ottawa, Potawatomi, and Wyandot. In 1817 a small area of southern Michigan technically acquired from the Ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi in the Foot of the Rapids Treaty. Much of the central and northeastern portion of the lower peninsula was obtained from the Chippewa in the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819. The Treaty of Chicago laid American claim to much of southwestern Michigan in 1821. The Potawatomi lost their hold on extreme southwestern Michigan in the Carey Mission Treaty of 1828. The Ottawa and Chippewa lost the northwestern part of the lower peninsula and the eastern two thirds of the upper peninsula in the 1836 Treaty of Washington. The western U.P. was acquired by the United States in the Treaty of La Pointe 11842) and the Cedar Point Treaty of 1836. The Indian people lost most of the Michigan peninsulas in the short span of 35 years. Many reservations were promised, but few have survived to this day. Some are described in early county histories, but no mention of them can be found in later historical documents. Others were later claimed by the U.S. government and settled by Anglo-Americans, or were only intended to last for the short term of five years until the Indian people could be removed to the Kansas Territory. At least one, perhaps more, seem to have been incorporated into contemporary government forests. Families which had received individual allotments were sometimes swindled out of their remaining land, or had to sell it under duress in an effort to obtain money to survive in a cash economy when treaty payments were illegally stopped. Some of the original people moved to Canada in the hop~s of finding a better life, others moved westward, while still others remained in Michigan regardless of the hardships they had to endure. Today the United State government officially recognizes a fraction the original treaty lands. Federally recognized reservations and Indian communities are located in the upper peninsula near Watersmeet, Ontonagon, Baraga, Hannaville, Bay Mills, and Sault St. Marie. In the lower peninsula Peshawbestown, Saganing, a11d Mt. Pleasant are all that remain of the reservat1or1s whict1 were ot'""iginally set aside. There is another Indian community at Athens in the southwestern part of Michigan which is oft1cially recoyn1zed of by the State.

We know the history of a few of these stones which have had power for those who believe, lli.IJ:i E.!lliQi The ancient religions of the American Indians varied in specific aspects from region to region, but they all honored the forces of nature and culture. Everything was considered to have a spiritual force or power. Herbs, trees, fish, animals, bowls, knives, rocks and even the Mother Earth were seen as possessing animated spirits, This world view is not restricted to the Indian peoples, for variations of Animism occur as tha earliest religions throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe.- perhaps stemming from a common historical origin, In the Great Lakes area unusual stone formations were considered to have special spiritual significance, 1 '0ver near da Oscoda Indian settlement dhere was one, once.

You gotta take care of dhem tings," Many years after this incident and miles away from Rattlesnake Creek, the old man bent over the east side of a boulder, scratching away the half rotten leaves and twigs covering the soil of the forest floor, ''Ahow! 11 he greeted the spiritual force focused at this point. He spoke his native Chippewa language as his fingers dug into the bag of tobacco, He thanked the spiritual power of this place for his good fortune and offered to share his gift of tobacco with it, 11 Meegwetch! 11 he concluded. As he slowly walked away he said "You gotta do dhat, you gotta believe, You gotta feed dhat Nanabozho, You gotta do dhat. Dhat's da Old Way." He walked down the hill and around the curve in the path without speaking. Finally, with a slight smirk on his lips he said 11 Maybe we was feedin a Wildman." Barely able to contain his grin, he shuffled along the wooded path. At one time, before the Whiteman swarmed across the land, there were many stones which were considered to be points where spiritual power was concentrated or mare accessible. Many of these are now gone - some have disappeared, some have been destroyed, son1e are slowly crumbling away, but a few are still recognized as a source In the spring of 1670, two Sulpician priests named Galinee and Dallier were among the first Whites to enter the Detroit River area. About six leagues from the mouth of the river they encountered a stone "which the Indians regarded as influencing navigation on Lake Erie, and to which they made sacrifices of skins and food, whenever they were about to embark upon the lake," The two priests broke the stone to pieces with their hatchets and threw it into the river, One priest had the bad luck of breaking his valuable iron axe in the process. Further north, on a knoll at the mouth of the Kawkawlin River, not fdr from the present Bay City State Park, another sacred site was recorded in 1837. "Two large stones, several feet in height, with a flat top and broad base•• were surrounded by several small stones which had been covered with offerings of tobacco, pieces of tin, flints, and other items dedicated to the ''Manitou," )J In 1820, Whitemen found several unusually shaped spirit stones off shore from Alpena on Thunder Bay Island. One had a flat ~S2 l1!J circular base and~ lonij arm-like extension protruding from the top. The other seems to have ~1 I~~- i ·, resembled a person wearing• L ,,,,_ .:i. necklace. The first stone had been purposefully set up beneath a tree, the origin of the second is unknown. ~-~'· ),.:_"-.. :-:..'Ko- ~~_.,\.,.'·' '··-.:~~~,- :· . ~..a._ z-...... South of Alpena at the mouth of the Devil River there were two more sacred stones. One weighed about three hundred pounds and was a gneiss type of rock with bands of quartz. Overall, it showed evidence of having been "worn by winds and water," The other stone resembled the shape of a human body but without head, arms, or legs. The Indian people reportedly called the place Shinqgawbawawsinekegobawat, Wawsineke which t1as been translated by some as 11 image stones.•• It is said that Shingawba had been a highly respected chief in the area and that he had promised to return to the stones after his death to receive any gifts the people might leave there in his honor, In 1839 when a White surveyor named Mr, Oliver visited the site there were large numbers of pipes, beads, tobacco, and trinkets in is said that long ago a war and the two sacred stones across Thunder Bay. On overboard Iroquois to the to their OJ1ver, and the water earrings, silver brooches, buttons, the immediate vicinity of the stones. It party of Iroquois captured two Chippewa and attempted to transport their captives this began journey the stones were thrown to boil, capsizing the canoe. The drowned, but the Chippewa regained the canoe and rsturned shore. There they found the sacred 5tones, already returned rightful place. At some later date, after the visit by Mr. these stones were broken up and used for net weights by f1sher· men. �Kt~. . ::c:.t 'QC -~ ~ . . u - : - .~. ~ - Along the Lake Huron shore, s1x miles north of the present town of Rogers City there is yet another sacred rock . This huge re c tangul ar boulder has been reported as twenty feet long, six feet high, and eight feet wide. When the lake is low it sits at the waters edge, but usually it is a hund r ed or more yards from the beach. Long ago, the Indian people who traveled in the area of this ro ck left sacrificed dogs and other gifts upon this sacred spot. During the 1920' s some people in the are• still followed the o ld way s by leaving offerings of tobacco on the stone. In 1909 Frederick Larke recorded the Indian tradition of this sacred rock (Hinsdale 19301 . Ages ago, where the rock now stands, wa3 the boundary line between the hunting grounds of two Indian tribes; the chief of the one was exceedingly aggressive and frequently trespassed upon the preserves of the neighboring tribe, and in so doing had caused much trouble and bloodshed to follow these excursions. At last the chiefs of the two tribes met, when the one as usual was trespassing over the border, and an altercation ensued which would probably have again resulted in a bloody war between the conflicting tribes, but Kitchie M~nitou, the Great Spirit, who was up Lake Superior at the time, became disgusted with both of them, seized hold of the Sacred Rock and hurled it down, crushing both the chiefs beneath its immense weight, which was so great that the banks above the beach have been sliding and trembling ever since. The famous White Rock is also said to have been a large boulder. Today, this rock lies several hundred yards off shore and protrudes above the surface of the lake only a small amount. Located just north of the small town in Michigan's thumb which bears its name, this rock was also considered sacred and was a focal point for dog sacrifice and tobacco offerings. Much like the stone destroyed by the priests on the Detroit River, the great White Rock was believed to have the power to offer 5afe passage while traveling on the lake in e xc hange for gifts and prayers. The Whiteman 's local tradition states that during prohibition in the 1920 ' s it had been large enough to accommodate• blind pig and dance floor. It is also said that during World War II the sacred rock was u sed as a practice bombing target by the air forces of Canada and the United States. This reportedly accounts for its s mall size today, though another person who v isited the rock before World War II claims it was not much larger then than it is n o w. Ab out four miles north of St. Ignace is Rabbit's Rock, named after its appe aran c e when viewed from a dist ance . ' 1 I t 1s an immense, high rock, and on account of its shape was supposed, by the Indians, to be inhabited by a manitou. When they paddled by, they would stop and mah e offerings of tobacco, suppo sin g it to be a great spirit that once presided over their ancestors, and always treated it with 11 reverential respect. In earlier days, there was a sacred stone on the high hill overlooking Hubbard Lake. This wa s referred to as the "Indian Worship" stone and was said to have marked the grave of Sedonikato, a gr eat Chippewa Chief. "Indian hunters and trappers, and even some Whitemen of earlier days, often brought offerings of beads and toba cco , and left them at the monument as an act of worship. Old residents remember this stone image as having a hollow head, or an opening in the natural stone formation of the head, and that the votive offerings were placed in this cavity. 11 Many years ago, it is reported, the grave was dug up and the stone was taken away to Pittsburg in 1880. Today, the area is being subdivided and developed as a vacation resort. On the trail between Grand Blanc and Flint, there was a beautiful rise of ground whi c h produced numerous wild plums of very fine quality. Among st the trees on this wonderful grassy knoll "stood a peculiarly shaped stone, perhaps four feet high ..•••• They called it Bab-o-quah." The Indian people always stopped at this clearing as it was a pla c e of worship. This spirit stone was taken by a Capt. Jacob Ste v ens in 1823-4, but the Indian people forced him to return it. It ' s subsequent history is unknown. Southeast of Mt. Pleasant another powerful spirit stone once stood along the banks of the Pine River where the Indian people "stopped and worshipped by a speech or a smoke. They also left other articles in addition to pieces of tobacco, and among them were pieces of copper which . . . . . were cut from the copper bowlder on the 11 Ontonagon Ri v er, Lake Superior. Many ot her powerful sacred stones have been honored through ou t the Great Lakes region. Some, such as the Turtle Rock, and Gu ll Rocks were named after creatures they obviously resembled.

They lead the dancers and are honored by the ancestors we honor. Respect is given head dancers because they are in the forefront, living examples of these ways given to us. Host Drum - All Nations Singers Head Singer - Ben Bearskin Jr. It is said the drum is the heartbeat of our people. So too the host drum is the heartbeat of a Pow-wow. Being host drum requires more than good voices and strong beats. Cultural sensitivity is required to sing appropriate songs and to combine the humor and dignity of a happening like a Pow-wow. �GRAND ENTRY First event of a Pow-Wow dance is to create a circle, loosely on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing a sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief in and continuation of the old ways. Because so much attention both spiritual and physical, is focused on this event the people in front do, indeed, have a great place of honor and responsibility. FLAG SONG Flag song - The Flag song to the Indian people is the same as the National Anthem to non-Indians. All people will be asked to remove their hats for all veterans who have served their people. �Head Veteran -Frank Bush U.S. Marine Corps Wounded WW II The head veteran leads the Grand Entry with the flag and represents all of the Indian people who gave their lives for our country. He also designates other flag bearers and officiates feather-pickups. The head veteran is one of the most important dancers of the Lansing Pow-Wow. The Pow-Wow Also known as a dance or a doings. The Pow-Wow has a very historic value to the American Indians. These dances and gatherings have gone on for hundreds of years. Historically in the Michigan area these gatherings were in the spring and summer. At this time the trading took place and the people had a chance to get together and see their family and friends whom they had not seen all winter. Today the people still gather and hold these dances. They have a chance to meet old friends and to make new ones. They also use this time to help educate Non-Indians to the Indian way of life. �Traditional Men Dancers Traditional men dancers come first in the Grand March because they do indeed come first. They are the head men, the chiefs, the clan leaders, the veterans, the healers, and the elders. The higest honors go to them because the fate of the people rests on their shoulders. Traditional Women Dancers Great dignity and pride belong to traditional women dancers. Raising children to be able to fulfill their roles in adult life is for these shapers of people. Crazy Horse once said "When the women are gone the people will be dead". When you view the spirit of the traditional women you will know. �MEN FANCY DANCERS "A MODERN DANCE WITH ITS ROOTS IN THE OLD GRASS DANCE", THIS IS JUST A MODERN EXPRESSION OF INDIAN PEOPLE COMBINING THE COLORFUL OUTFITS AND FAST PACE OF TODAY WITH THE GREAT TRADITIONS OF YESTERDAY, WOMEN SHAWL DANCERS EXUBERANT EXPRESSIONS OF LIFE IS WHAT FANCY AND SHAWL DANCERS ARE, BRIGHT FEATHERSJ SPARKLING BEADWORKJ AND EXPERT CONTROL OF INTRICATE MOVEMENT, ALL THIS COMBINED WITH PERSONAL AURA TO MAKE THESE DANCERS UNIQUE IN STYLE, �TRADERS BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF BEADS AND SILVERJ OUR PEOPLE MADE ARM BANDS OUT OF COPPER AND EMBROIDERED THEIR CLOTHING WITH DYED MOOSE HAIR, WHEN GLASS BEADSJ NEEDLESJ AND HATS WERE INTRODUCED THE INDIAN TRADER BECAME AN INTEGERAL PART OF EVERY Pow-wow.

The Pow-Wow has a very historic value to the American Indians. These dances and gatherings have gone on for hundreds of years. Historically in the Michigan area these gatherings were in the spring and summer. At this time the trading took place and the people had a chance to get together and see their family and friends whom they had not seen all winter. Today the people still gather and hold these dances. They have a chance to meet old friends and to make new ones. They also use this time to help educate Non-Indians to the Indian way of life. GRAND ENTRY First event of a Pow-Wow dance is to create a circle, loosely on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing a sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief in and continuation of the old ways. Because so much attention both spiritual and physical, is focused on this event the people in front do, indeed, have a great place of honor and responsibility. FLAG SONG Flag song The flag song to the Indian people is the same as the National Anthem to non-Indians. All people will be asked to remove their hats for all veterans who have served their people. HEAD DANCERS Head dancers help set the tone of a Pow-Wow. They lead the dancers and are honored by the ancestors we honor. Respect is given head dancers because they are in the forefront, living examples of these ways given to us. �HOST DRUM It is said the drum is the heartbeat of our people. So too the host drum is the heartbeat of a Pow-Wow. Being host drum requires more than good voices and strong beats. Cultural sensitivity is required to sing appropriate songs and to combine the humor and dignity of a happening like a Pow-Wow. Head Veteran -Frank Bush U.S. Marine Corps Wounded WW II The head veteran leads the Grand Entry with the flag and represents all of the Indian people who gave their lives for our country. He also designates other flag bearers and officiates feather-pickups. The head veteran is one of the most important dancers of the Lansing Pow-Wow. �Traditional Men Dancers Traditional men dancers come first in the Grand March because they do indeed come first. They are the head men, the chiefs, the clan leaders, the veterans, the healers, and the elders. The higest honors go to them because the fate of the people rests on their shoulders. Traditional Women Dancers Great dignity and pride belong to traditional women dancers. Raising children to be able to fulfill their roles in adult life is for these shapers of people. Crazy Horse once said "When the women are gone the people will be dead". When you view the spirit of the traditional women you will know. �Men Fancy Dancers "A modern dance with its roots in the old grass dance". This is just a modern expression of Indian people combining the colorful outfits and fast pace of today with the great traditions of yesterday. Women Shawl Dancers Exuberant expressions of life is what fancy and shawl dancers are. Bright feathers, sparkling beadwork, and expert control of intricate movement. All this combined with personal aura to make these dancers unique in style. �MICHIGAN INDIAN EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING SERVICES, INC.
