Ojibwa Delegation
Image
Group portrait of Ojibwa Chiefs from Bad River, Lac Courte Oreilles, and Lac du Flambeau, in Washington, D.C. The reason they were there is in dispute. Records show it had something to do with a bill to divide the reservations into parcels, reducing the size of the reservations and opening the lands for logging. Names, left to right, seated on floor: Wadwaiasoug, Oshawashkogijig. Seated in chairs: Edawigijig "Both Sides of the Sky" (Bad River Chief and signer of 1854 Treaty), Kiskitawag or Giishkitawag "Cut Ear" (signed multiple treaties as a warrior of the Octonagon Band, but afterwards was associated with the Bad River Band), Akewainzee (most prominent Chief of the Lac Courte Oreilles band), Nizhogiizhig "Second Day," Oshoga. Standing: Vincent Conyer (interpreter), Ogimagijig, Dr. I.L. Mahan (Indian Agent in Bayfield, 1878-1879), Wasigwanabi, George P. Warren (Civil War veteran, Private, Company K, 36th Infantry, he was born on 1824 in LaPointe, wounded at Cold Harbor on 6-3-1864, mustered on 3-11-1865), and Thaddeus Adams Thayer, Jr. (married to Mary (Bert) Thayer "Gagi," an Ojibwa woman). They are posing in front of a painted backdrop.
