glad i took the time to listen!

I really enjoyed this. I have been fishing up here my whole life and knew the names but never the detailed history. It brings an even greater appreciation for the area.

[@chazmansmom]

I'm very thankful for this video it's very informative. I'm an enrolled member of LCO (proud Granddaughter of Robert and Hazel Gouge') and this was extremely educational as well as entertaining and I've been sharing it with my son and my niece and my mother who lives there currently and is a Tribal Elder. I'm sure she's never seen this either and I was more than glad to pass this on to her. .Chi- Miigwech. This is definitely one video that I truly truly appreciate thank you so much for the time and effort.

This is fascinating and touching at once. Rick's voice and calm delivery holds the listener in anticipation of wanting to know what is next.
I grew up in Michigan, so we did learn a little about the native people, but as I am now approaching 68, I appreciate the stories so much more. Thanks to all who contributed to this wonderful adventure of knowledge! ✌️♥️ Mark

School work brought me here. Great story

[@mojorising1]

Thank you for the story. I came through Wisconsin back in 2014 on my way to Minnesota and love it. Feels like home and turns out my ancestors lived there once. I would like to plan a trip to their gravesites to pay my respects.

Your profile pic says *_Chamookamonikwe_* but your face in the aerial splits vid says *_Don't antagonize me when I'm drinkin'_* lol!!

[@kowaltoboggan]

What a truly captivating piece of Ojibwe oral tradition. Thank you.

[@jaynewhite940]

Loved this story. Chi-miigwech!

[@lamnad]

Glad a ran across this. I have been doing some family history work and found a claim that one of my ancestors was Chipawa/Ojiwe living close to Eu Clare Wisconsin. The little research I have come across points me to this being who their tribe would have been. I do not claim to be Native but I love learning things about those who came before me.

[@superrrrliz]

Thank you for sharing these stories.

[@jocelynepambrun4895]

your a good storyteller chi migwetch

[@nicholetteromashko803]

I grew up visiting Lac Courte Orielles. Every year from 1974 through 1984. I remember the racism of my father and even as a small child I couldn't understand why my father was so awful about the Ojibwe. I am 56 now and so happy I found this story.

Thank you for sharing the facts of violence before my people came.

[@poppawheelie59]

Boozhoo, would anyone know which Clan Chief Kewanzee and his wife Chenomemon of the LCO located near Spooner would have belonged to? His Grandson, Gus Welch is the hero of a feature film I'm developing. Chi Miigwetch.

Howah! Boozhoo Rick!

Are you Ho-chunk or Bad River ?

[@bellain90ut]

It will take a bit more to tell them to stay connected for the original creation has been influenced by so many elements and only 2% are somewhat aware of it.

As a Iroquois confederacy member of the Seneca tribe the kettle family would like to apologize to Ojibwe tribes for breaking the great law of peace

[@davidkraft3226]

As we Ojibwe have greatly wronged the Dakota and Lakota, reflected by the French name for them: Sioux-snake. The Dakota and Lakota came together with the Ojibwe in ceremony even just recently to share with us their sacred songs, stories, pipe, and big drum. Much harm has been done over the centuries but also much healing.
