Me again, Wonder if you know of this name. This comes from a new staff member that now works here at the UOI, her name is Nicole Latulippe. She told me that her great great grandparents lived in Garden Village. Names are Pierre Shawaniprenesi Pigeau and Marianne Deschamps-Pinakisikoque (great-great grandparents). Great great grandfather was in Golden Lake at one point and great great grandmother was in Garden Village in 1902 census.

Hi Bob, just wanted to drop you a line and say hello. Sometimes you don't always get told this, but it was a great pleasure working with you. I have learned so much about work ethics, and creativity. If there's one thing to say about working with you, it's your motivation. It was a read education for me and you are missed. Wishing you all the best and I know that where ever you are working now, they are in for a real treat in many ways. All the best.

I am looking for any information about Magdeleine Pewadjiwonokwe. I would like to know what her name means. Also is she Mohawk of the Iroquois Confederation or is she Mohawk of the Chippewa/Ojibwe Confederation. She was born in 1788 and married my grandfather of many generations on June 22, 1818. That is when the marriage was legalized in the church. Thank you

She went by the name Nancy or Annie Mesquabanokwe aka Ninnon Metous, Annecy Miskasabanokwe. I believe she was closely related to Chief Shinguauk and Chief Nebenagooching.

Interesting site, but what concerns me is you want the Anishinabek to be a Nation with all the treaty rights that have been signed in the past and now you want all the land, timber, mineral water back. Just what part of the treaties do you honour? You want everything and you want someone else to pay for it?

BOB:  This is such an ignorant and uneducated opinion.  First of all -- nobody has said First Nations want anything back.  This is one of those contemporary stereotypes that intolerant people bring about to oversimplify the facts.  We only want the treaties to be implemented and balance out the equitable sharing of treaty benefits.

Back to basis... Treaties are legal documents not ancient texts.  There are two parties to the treaties, the Crown and First Nations.  Each side has responsibilities and legal obligations.  First Nations have given up a lot in the form of land cessions (literally the entire continent, piece by piece), agreement to restrict ourselves to the reserves and placing our full trust into the honour and fiduciary duty of the Crown.  This was our responsibility under the treaty, and, you had better believe First Nations have honoured that to YOUR fullest benefit!!!  

We also know, full well, that the benefits and rights from the treaties were to be shared equitably.  Not equally - but equitably.  Here's the whole nut farm and all the trees – let's run this farm together instead of just throwing me a few peanuts now and again, or worse yet, providing me empty shells.

The question is: which party has benefited more from the treaties?  Could it be the Government who obtains billions of dollars in revenue each and every year from natural resource extraction?  This includes... hunting, fishing, mining, tourism, land use, taxation, licensing, user fees, etc.  This has accumulated and grown exponentially over the past 160 years.  We're talking hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions of dollars.  Could it be industry, whose accumulated profits since 1850 could not possibly be accurately calculated?  Canada is one of the richest countries in the world.  Where do you think that wealth comes from – your income tax deduction??  No, this has all been derived, either directly or indirectly from the riches of the land.

I get a kick out of the people who think that First Nations are the primary beneficiaries of the treaty.  Despite how much money you tell me that government spends on "aboriginal Canadians" – the truth is that First Nations continue to live in poverty and third world conditions.  This is right in your own backyard.

You may also feel that First Nations are better off, because of the five or six Chiefs out of 630 across Canada who make more than $100,000 in salary.  When you see that, the intolerant types are always up in arms.  (How can an Indian be wealthy?  There must be something wrong.  There must be corruption going on?)  Do you know how much the CEOs and Chairpersons of Bay Street earn.  Some earn this in a single day?

(But you have so much land?) Okay, let's take a look at land use.  As a result of the "equitable" sharing of the land, First Nations hold less than 2 per cent of land in Canada.  But the minute the Haudensaunee take over one small real estate development, the intolerant types want to call in the Canadian Forces.

I put the question back to you:  have First Nations people honoured the treaties?  Or has the Crown honoured the treaties?

BOB:  Harold. Harold.  Get with the program, buddy.  Instead of blaming others, try to see what the real problem is.  (Check out today's Blog Post.)  You may just might have to admit you are part of that problem.  By the way, putting me and the word "hatred" in the same sentence just doesn't fit.

Booshoo from Northern Ontario, I am a member of the Deer Lake First Nation. Im not good at explaining maps but we are located near the corner of Ontario, just close to the Manitoba border. I was just browsing the sites for the Friendship Centres in Toronto because my son is travelling there for a week or so when the school year ends. I was reading your website, the one about the Princesses caught my eye. I was wondering if you could find out who is the one with the last name Fiddler? I have family in Sandy Lake Ontario, Im just wondering if it might be one of them. Kitchi-meegwetch for your time.

I do not know any of my relatives on my father's side and he has passed on himself. I am hoping someone will have pictures I can copy. And information greatly appreciated.

A group of women from Kingston and surrounding area, are extending our support our Brothers and Sisters who are protesting in Caledonia . We stood on the steps of City Hall in Kingston ON and played our durms and sang for about one hour. We decided as a group to do continue this every Saturday afternoon, untill this issue has come to a peacefull resolve. We have our children standing along side us to show them we are worth so much more, and that we need to stand together as a people. We would also like to see anyone who can do this in their community to stand as one and support not only our Brothers and Sisters who are standing in Caledonia , but to show our strength as one for any future problems or issues.

Crown offers the land selection model, what the Nisga'a got: 8% of their traditional territory. If we accept, I think we're heading towards extinction within 100 years. We need all our lands to sustain ourselves in perpetuity. *** Thinking out loud *** With the Crown dogging us, what's the alternative? *** Gitxsan Eye Brows Raised ***

I am Lin LaRonde, spouse of Thomas. I have been researching his family tree of LaRondes for several years, Have thus far researched him to Denis DeLaRonde of Tours , France and Canada . He had some relatives among the Mohawk and, I believe, some of the Seneca peoples. I am very interested in finding out which tribe/family he may belong to. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lin

Came upon your blog through blogs canada very interesting and notice alot of females dropping by your site. Doesn't say you are single but I guess if you have 3 children it means something, I also notice the midewiwin code for lifelong wisdom says Honor women-you honor the gift of life and love. How exactly do you honor women?

BOB:  Great observations and questions Sharon .  First, I never noticed that females outnumbers males visiting my site. 65 females out of 123 total guestbook entries.  I think it's probably because more females will take the time to sign the guestbook like you did.

How exactly do I honour women? Hmm...  read on In Honour of Women.

If I may, Bob I am impressed with your website but more so with all your accomplishments. I am amazed with each day I learn so much more about our people. I learn about our ongoing struggles and have learned that the First nations people are strong and in time we will overcome the challenges this government and justice system continues to impose on us. I am a paralegal stuudent and I will be finished my schooling very soon. A man like youself is such a role model. Creator has blessed us with your presence. Thank you for the wonderful hard work and your contributions. I tip my hat to you. A most impressive Curriculum Vitae.

Hi Bob, I guess we are probably related somehow, I was interested to see what I could find on the internet about my background, being a city girl from Toronto , but my family is from up North, and I don't know much about the history. Anyway, I am glad to see that you are very prosperous, and I think I saw you at the Pow Wow 2 summers ago. Keep up the good work! Sharley p.s. I am the granddaughter of Bernadette, and Albert Goulais was my father, so I am sure we are cousins or something.

Found your blog while doing some research about Dudley George. I have seen the way ex Premier Harris had his OPP Storm troopers beat up on white civil workers of Ontario , and after watching the TV movie One Dead Indian I can see that the only reason Mr. George was murdered was because of his race. I honestly hope the full truth comes out at the inquiry to what the extent Harris was involved. If Harris was involved, I would like to see him go to jail. However, unfortunately that is dreaming.

Came across your blog while doing a search for "mide lodge dream." I recently had a dream of one being situated in my house. I'm very interested in Ojibwa culture/spirituality, but am not Ojibwa nor a practitioner myself... In any event, browsed some of your entries, and in particular liked your own Mide lodge dream, and your stance on the gay marriage issue. Nice site.

Hi Bob, Great site!!! You might remember me as the former CEO for NFNEDC. Enjoyed my work while I was there, and am happy to see that things are progressing positively... Say HI to the folks for me, Phil Goulais, Mike Restoule, Joan McLeod, Freda McLeod, and your sis, Phyllis. I recently formed a Renewable Energy company and was able to hook up with a major Pulp and paper concern out here in New Brunswick . To make a long story short, we developed an alternative fuel, and had a two day trial burn in June this past summer...not bad for a Nish eh? Anyway, we got all the environmental approvals, and we expect to power up the mill on a full time basis in the very near future. We gotta look after the earth eh? May as well demonstrate that we can do something to help out. The Creator gives us the knowledge and wisdom, why not share it. After all we are stewards of this fine land. Watcheeay... Harry

They contacted her on Tuesday informing her that they were so impressed with her submission that they will be doing a live broadcast at Nbisiing Secondary School on Thursday, November 17th commencing at 6:30 a.m. in the school gymnasium. Isn't this AWESOME! We'll be on NATIONAL TV for others to see how great our community really is and how proud we are of our school, and also, what we're trying to accomplish for Aboriginal Education.....Mark your calendars for November 17th - 6:30 a.m.

Thank you Bob for being a good host at the Pow Wow last weekend at the Nipissing First Nation at Jacko Point. This is the first Pow Wow I ever participated in and I was tricked into dancing by family members. The next time I go to a Pow Wow, I will dance the two step. No wonder it is a popular dance - it looked like a lot of fun. Thank you for your hospitality and for explaining the different events that were going on. I felt at home. The food and sharing was wonderful. Lake Nipissing is enchanting. Thank you.

On behalf of the majority of Americans, I completely and wholeheartedly agree with the "gay marriage" blog. Speaking as a straight Shinnobquay, and a DEMOCRAT, it's bad enough that Bush and his corrupt cabinet (AND the Supreme Court Justices) continually chip away at our legal, sovereignty, treaty, environmental, social, educational, health, ETC. rights, a blind person can see that they are seeking to continue this neo-nazi quest for obvious reasons. WHAT GOES ON IN MY WIGWAM IS MY OWN BUSINESS!!!

Dear Bob, I found your site really interesting. My grandfather was Victor A Beaucage he was killed many years ago when my mum was just a baby. He is buried in Garden Village.We visited last August and spent the day in North Bay and on the reserve. I love the life there. I would love to go back to my roots. My mum's cousin's are John and Peter Beaucage. We try to get over to Canada every couple of years. In a funny way it feels like we are going home! I went to my first pow-wow in August what an experience. Do the Nipissing Tribe have their own? I hope next time we visit we could meet with you. Take care Kimberley

I have found out that my grandfather was metis as george mcleod had scottish heritage, so he would not have been a native veteran from james bay, however if there are any mcleod relatives from this branch that you are aware of I would certainly like to contact. thanks vicki

Hi Bob, great website - I was looking for information on my grandfather and great grandmother, ran across your site and noticed the name McLeod, Barbra McLeod (Veraldi) is my mother, Shirley and Helen (McLeod are my aunts). James A. McLeod was my grandfather - son of Ellen Sailors McLeod and George McLeod (also a nephew to Hannah Loone from Moose Factory). James McLeod was well known in North Bay (wife Mable McLeod) before he went to war in 1941 he was 33 when he died from war wounds in France Aug. 13 1944 he is buried there. I am trying to trace my ancestory and if you know of any living relatives of this part of the Mcleod family tree I would greatly appreciate the contact. I have tried to get info from the government but am having no success. I have also tried Veterans affairs as I feel he should be listed as a native veteran from James Bay . However I am having no luck. Thanks for your time and any help or direction you could give me would be very welcomed.

i'm sure glad i found you.my sisters and i are a lost fragment of the couchie clan .atually we were born in australia ! mum left canada in the early 50's to escape the racism inherant in north america.to spare her kids i think. i was grew up knowing nothing of my mothers culture ,except a dance she showed us in the kitchen in australia.she'd dance only with a shawl.years later at a pow-wow i recognized that dance as womans traditional. i sat at a drum for a time a few years back.and met some of the most amazing people.we were at the veterans pow-wow at fond da lac reserve in minisota(you mentioned "the boyz") i played with them a lot that weekend and at a later gathering.john henery macmillan gave me my name (at age thirty nine!)in a sweat there. while i miss my friends at fond da lac they were a poor substitute for real family.the indian act of 1911 really had lasting effects on our family.not one that i can think of that was positive.my mother never had her status in her lifetime.but my grandmother was most sorly affected she died a bitter woman its my fervent wish that i can work to heal the damage done by that horrific crime. thanks for listening bob can you tell me of any gatherings in the area that i may be welcome at? i'd love to meet some of my cousins. frank francis

Thank you for your medicine work. I have discovered the 4 herbs from your people that cures so much. I search the world for healing herbs, and find yours so special. Could you tell me the real name, as I wish the glory to be to your Midewiwic rather than Rene Caisse as Essiac tea. When I tell people of it, they ask for the Objibwe name, as I always mention it was your formula. Thank you, Minnie Green Health Educator, retired
