Notes for Whitecloud Wahbojig Naytahgaygeshig


!NAME: ',<"{;[ Wah bo jig = Whitecloud [Powell]

Roll 10/0075, Powell Genealogies, families #5:7, #5:8

!GENEALOGY_COMPILED_BY_VIRGINIA_ROGERS: Broken Tooth Genealogy, #17, #35,
The treaty of 1837 at St. Peters in the Territory of Wisconsin (later
Minnesota) was signed by Pa-goo-na-kee-zhig, or Hole in the Day, Chief, and
by Songa-ko-mig or the Strong Ground, Chief, both from Gull Lake and Swan
River.  Wa-boo-jig, or the White Fisher signed as warrior.  At the treaty of
1842 at La Pointe of Lake Superior, Wisconsin Territory, Wa-bo-jig signed as
1st Chief from Gull Lake and Po-Go-ne-gi-shik signed ast 1st Chief from Crow
Wing River and Song-go-com-ick as 2nd Chief from Crow Wing River.
   He was half Sioux.
   U-a-bo-jic (sic), a Gull Lake Chief, signed the La Pointe treaty of 1842.
Waw-bow-jieg aka White Fisher, signed the treaty of 30 Sep 1854 at La Pointe,
Wisconsin.
   Pay-shah-quod-oquay, aka. Mrs. Anna Swan, daughter of Wah-bo-jig gives this
information: "My story centers around the life of Wah-bo-jeeg.  Wah-bo-jeeg
interpreted in the English language means Whitefisher.  He was a great chief,
being half Sioux and half Ojibway.  He could talk in both languages very well.
Chief Wah-bo-jeeg was considered a wise and smart Indian by all his fellow men.
He was the only Indian that could count money in those days, that was the
reason he was made chief.  Wah-bo-jeeg used to get large amounts of money or
gold from the Government for his own use but as he was very kindhearted, he
shared his gold with his tribe.
   "Chief Wah-bo-jeeg has a large family with his first wife.  Anna Swan can
remember her father Chief Wah-bo-jeeg telling that three of his children were
killed by the Sioux and three were killed by the Ojibways.  At this time the
Sioux and the Ojibway were continually on the war-path as you might call it.
So three children remained whose names are Wah-bon-ah-quot, Qauy-me-do-gay and
Che-equay.  Wah-bon-ah-quot means White Cloud, who was made Chief later.
   "When Anna Whitefisher Swan was about ten years old, her father Chief
Wah-bo-jeeg was called to Washington, D.C. on a land business.  He left Gull
lake with several other men drawn by four horses.  They had to go to the
nearest railroad station which was St. Cloud, Minnesota.  Chief Wah-bo-jeeg had
the misfortune of being taken sick but nevertheless he continued his journey to
Washington, where it was found out that he had small-pox.  Wah-bo-jeeg became
very ill.  Anna Whitefisher Swan's family received word from Washington that
Chief Wah-bo-jeeg was very sick.  He lived several days and passed away at
Washington where he was laid to rest in the Arlington National Cemetary by the
graves of Army Generals.  That was the last of our beloved father and great
chief.  He was missed by his family and by his tribe.  This happened in the
year of 1862."
   Mah-ko-day, sister of O-ge-mah-quay, also married Chief Wah-bo-jig.
   Winchell's 'Aborigines of Minnesota' has many discrepancies from the above.
"Waub-o-jeeg, 3rd, in 1852 a petty sub-chief on the upper Mississippi, War.,
394, was endowed, 1826, with a medal by Gov. Cass, 'solely for the strikingly
mild and pleasant expression of his face,' School. Exp. Itasca, 115, 249; met
Schoolcraft in council in 1832; had two wives, seven sons and four daughters;
sons are all dead (1910); one daughter was killed by the Sioux in the
Stillwater fight, 1830, and three are now living at White earth; Rev. Chas. T
Wright, now of Cass Lake, is a grandson; his name is Nashotah; he is a son of
Wahbaunoquot, White Cloud, of Gull Lake, and his party was the first to settle
at White Earth, June 14, 1868; Waubojeeg 3rd was a man given to peace; is
father was Pu-gu-sain-ji-gun, and from him he inherited an American medal;
signed the Fond du Lac treaty, 1826, McKen., 483.  Waubojeeg 3rd is probably
the 'White Fisher' met by Pike at Red Cedar Lake in February, 1806, Pike, 74;
signed the treaties of 1837, 1844, 1847, 1854, 1853, Kapp. 544, and of 1857,
Gil, Ms.; same as U-a-bo-jig.  Waub-o-jeeg 3rd was a full-blooded Sioux, having
been captured when a boy and raised by the Ojibwa.  Signed the treaty of 1836
at Washington, and an agreement, 1844, as to the cession of Isle Royale, Ind.
Com."
