born Crow Wing or Gull Lake, Minnesota. He was the oldest living son of Chief
Joseph Hole-in-the-Day and O-din-ew, and became chielf after his father died.
He graduated from St. John's College at Collegeville, Minnesota in 1874 and it
is said that he could speak four languages fluently. He was found drowned in
the north branch of the Chicago River on NOV 15, 1888. He had been traveling
with the Hale and Bigelow Medicine Show.
As a Chippewa Chief of the Mississippi Band living on the White Earth
Reservation, he signed an agreement on AUG 11,
1886.

born around 1825, perhaps near Crow Wing, Minnesota, killed AUG 17, 1868 near
the Agency at Crow Wing. More has been written about Chief Hole-in-the-Day
than any other Minnesota Chippewa Chief. Here I give only the history
relating to his personal life.
He and his father were members of the Bear Clan while his mother, of
course, was of the Loon Clan. He became Chief in 1847 when his father died.
He is said to have been 20 years old at that time. His interpreter and
bodyguard was O-jib-way (WE-816) who is the ancestor of the many
Parkers on the White Earth Reservation, and whose children married into this
family.
Chief Hole-in-the-Day owned three valuable pieces of land in Minnesota.
One was a farm in Cass County just above the Old Agency. Another was a farm
of approximately one square mile, north of the Agency at Crow Wing. He had a
large two story house on this land which was burned down. The land his father
had claimed was a maple woods between Gull and Round Lakes above Crow Wing.
After Hole-in-the-Day's death an administrator was appointed to handle his
estate. It was said that he left two widows and six children at the Crow Wing
Agency, and one widow and one minor in Minneapolis. The estate was not
settled until forty years later. Apparently his heirs received almost
nothing.
From the treaty of MAR 19th, 1867, Article 5: 'the annuity
of $1,000 a year which shall here after become due under Article 3 of the
Treaty of AUG, 1847, shall be paid to Chief Hole in the Day and to his heirs.'
This was paid during his lifetime but evidently not continued after his death.
It has been suggested that the money was for his band and not for him
personally, however, there is other evidence that chiefs did receive money
from treaties for themselves.
I have found several wives for Hole-in-the-Day and there is ample
testimony that he had plural wives. LaDoux, Naomi of White Earth, Minnesota,
whose grandmother lived at Crow Wing, told me that after Hole-in-the-Day
brought his white wife back from Washington, she lived downstairs in the big
house and his Indian wives lived upstairs. The wives and children I have been
able to find are given below. The order of the wives is unknown.
!Maynard Swan papers, photocopy (probably "The Man Who Lived Three Centuries"),
p. 47, "Boy" spent his boyhood on the northeasterly shores of Gull Lake, where
the Chief's rice bed preserves his name today as Hole-in-the-Day Lake. His
home was probably at the Round-Gull thoroughfare; and the rather substantial
log cabin, with no floor, found occupied by Chief Wadena a quarter-century
later, was probably Hole-in-the-Day's. A mile or so south was the famous
Hole-in-the-Day Sugar Bush between Round and North Long Lakes. Here the father
first built a substantial cabin on the Grundt-Hovde property in Ojibway Park;
then "Boy" later moved several hundred yards east and built his own cabin on
Lot 13, owned at the time of present writing by Howard Goserud of Hugo,
Minnesota. In 1836, a beginning was made on surveying the Sioux-Chippewa
boundary agreed upon by those two Nations at the Prairie du Chien Treaty in
1825; and Hole-in-the-Day moved to the mouth of Little Elk just above Little
Falls, to serve as an avante garde against Sioux encroachment. In 1838 he
arranged to have his pre-teen son stab a little Sioux girl his own age, and
scalp her while he was a guest in her home. This ever after gave Kwi-wi-sens a
right to wear a red-tipped feather, and to sit in the highest coucils with
other warriors in the band. One of thefeathers in the bonnet of the present
portrait represents the innocent Sioux girl. When Pugona-geshig died in 1847,
"Boy" took his place, and soon his name -- through pressure of white-man
custom. He then lived to play out the last great role of monarchy in the
Ojibway Nation, signing the Treaty of Fond du Lac in 1847, the Treaty of 1855
which set up the Reservation system in Minnesota, and finally the Treaty of
1867 which created the White Earth Reservation, aolished others, and eventually
ended any Indian ownership of important lands in Minnesota.

(WE-347) His godparents were Jean Eveque and Susane MacFarlen. He
was the son of Chief Joseph Hole-in-the-Day and Ellen Kater (or McCarty).
After the death of Chief Hole-in-the-Day, Ellen Kater went to Minneapolis,
where young Joseph was adopted by Daniel and Elizabeth Woodbury. He was
educated in Minneapolis. After his marriage he worked for the Agency Office on
the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and later for the Minneapolis Post
Office. He was a Corporal in the Spanish-American War. After the death of
Chief Ignatius Hole-in-the-Day, Joseph took his family to White Earth where he
acted as Chief and where he signed the agreement of 1889 at age 21. He died at
the age of
34.
