Waubishgangauge was born in 1770. He was the son of Keesh-ke-mun Ojibwe. He passed away in 1847. [1]
Waub-ish-gaug-aug-e (White Crow) was a member of the Crane family, a part of the Totemic system. He was the father of Ah-mous (Little Bee), a "principal chief of the (Crane) family".[2] White Crow led his tribe until 1847, having taken over from his father Keesh-ke-mun. At White Crow's death, his son Ah-mous (Little Bee) took on the title of chief for the inland bands of the Lac Du Flambeau and Chippewa.[3]
Research Notes
The location of birth for this person was listed by the profile manager as Lac du Flambeau, Vilas, Wisconsin, United States. However, the person was born in 1770. The United States did not exist then. Neither did Wisconsin, Vilas County, and Lac du Flambeau (as a town). As a result, it triggered a Data Doctor Error 603: USA too early in birth location suggestion.
Research was begun by Bev Diaz hoping to find the correct name for this location based on the time period. Quickly, she realized that the name really depends on who you ask, the French colonial powers, the British colonial powers, or the indigenous people of Chequamegon Bay who were Lake Superior Chippewa and who lived here before the Europeans came to North America.
Because the European colonial powers had finished the Seven Years War in 1763, France ceded this portion of their lands to the British who called it the Province of Quebec. It remained thus (in English) until after the 1787 Treaty of Paris when it became part of the so-called Northwest Territories administered by the United States. Without knowledge of what the local native people called the land, the decision was made to change the birth location to Province of Quebec. Assistance is needed from the Native Americans Project to determine the appropriate location.
