He was buried at St. Columba's Episcopal Cemetary at White Earth. His parents
are not known. He was a Cival War Veteran in Co. G, 9th Minnesota Infantry,
mustered in on AUG 21, 1862 and out on AUG 24, 1865.
From the Minnesota Historical Society Collection, page 74: "We hear much
said of the eloquence of the Indians. Many of them are good and ready
speakers and present things clearly and Forcibly. They do not much use the
metaphors and similes that popular imagination has credited the with, but talk
like sensible and therefore truly eloquent men. While many are admirable
speakers there is only one who is a genius, a truly remarkably eloquent man.
He is the ':({:/,>,[ Windjimadub, Chief (Where he moves from sitting), or, as
his French name is, Joseph Charette. He lives at White Earth, and is about
fifty-five years of age. He has a little French blood. I consider him
perhaps the best speaker, the greatest orator, I have ever met. Although
without education -- he does not know a letter -- his powers are remarkable.
He has all the vehemence, the fire, the energy, command of language, range of
thought, of the true orator. As another said, 'Every word comes like an
electric spark from his heart.' I think he would be considered a wonderful
speaker in any nation."
Joseph Charette lived at Gull Lake and later at Crow Wing. He was related
to the many Charettes (Critts) around Fond du Lac. He was made Chief by the
Indian Agent and was a delegate to Washington around 1910. As ':({:/,>,[ Wen-
je-mah-dub he signed the Agreement of 1889 at age 52.
