1867 - Great GRANDMA Elizabeth Thompson Collins came from Red Lake and Oklahoma thru Montana
-She was 9 years old when she ran for her life . She saw our relatives get killed after being told there was going to be peace. Everybody came out for a pow-wow and the US soldiers used this as an opportunity to strike as the Indians were exposed and concentrated. It was a leader from the white man army that did this. She hid in the mud by the river. It had turned red from the blood of my relatives and she saw the soldiers cut apart the live and dead “Indians” to make sure they were dead. After the killing was done and the soldiers had left, she walked from North West Oklahoma to Montana and then across to Red Lake, as far as she could remember. She had heard that the edge of the plains and going into the woodlands was safe because the whites were fighting each other there and were trying to get Indians on there side. No Indians in that area took sides but were getting together to fight back. She was adopted and renamed Elizabeth Thompson and had some adopted sisters and brothers in the Collins Family of Red Lake and Leech Lake. Crazy Horse, Kabatay, Sitting Bull and many others organized to keep the white man away. Because the woodlands were thick it was easy to hide and live there whereas the white man would have to look behind every tree to find us. They spread lies and tried to separate the Anishinawbe by calling us different names, when really it was different families. Sioux (serpent dragon), Ojibwa (to paddle), Cree (to be) were some of the translations. The invaders used our language to impose their labels on us. My great grandmother met my great grandfather near Rainy lake when she was a teenager and married him by Anishinawbe custom sometime in her early twenties and bore my grandpa around 1892.My great grandmother came from a matriarchy and told us the line of our family comes from the woman’s line and she described how we belonged to the serpent clan, a clan born of the star people and my great grandpa also followed that line, as he followed her ways which were quite different from his. Everybody around us knew she was powerful for having come from so far away at such a young age as well as being an only survivor of a faraway people, the tree frog people. She enriched the people around her with her customs. Before he met her, great grandpa was of the sturgeon clan, a clan born of the star people and the time of the great water.

1899 –Grandpa Pete did his initiation at seven years old

-Grandpa Pete was left with a whole bunch of other kids the same age in spring just as the snow melted and his mom had seen a slow moving snake crawling across the snow slowly. The kids already knew how to hunt and take care of themselves by this age. They had stores of smoked and dried food. The older people observed them from a distance and waited for the first snowfall to end the initiation. The older people took care not to interact with the youngsters, as they wanted the youngsters to meet the spirits and whatnot without their intervention. The made sure that my grandpa and his peers got purity and grace from the gods and the great spirit and wanted the kids to make friends with them. When the first snow fell, my great grandma and great grandpa found my grandpa Pete with a male bear cub as a companion. He related that in his time of despair and loneliness this cub had come to him and stayed. He was scared that the mother would come but she never did.He eventuall ynamed him Mukosse. He had also become friends with the snakes and mosquitoes. He also told of his connection to certain plants and juices. Grandpa Pete was known as a powerful human because of his friendship with Mukoose the bear and the snakes. Mukoose stayed with him for sixteen years and traveled with him all over the forest. Grandpa had snakes living in his lodges and homes. They lived in the walls and roof. He smoked marijuana and morning glory and other herbs and told me that all spirits are meant to be here. Firewater was used to purify many ceremonies and it occurs naturally in such things as fermented cranberries on the twig and other situations. Each spirit or combination of spirits, the totem or totem pole being a mirror metaphor, activated and action in this realm.

1900 - Indian population down to 237,000

Great Grandpa had to kill 6 white men. Great grandpa had gone out for a long hunt once and when he came back his wife was barely alive. Great grandma told him that 7 Frenchmen had come by and stopped and entered our main camp. They tried to ask for something but Great grandma knew they were drunk. She did not understand their language, but she knew their intentions and she quietly slipped away. She didn’t get far before they surrounded her and raped her and tortured her. They left her for dead. They hurriedly left. Great grandpa set out after them and caught up to them. He killed the first one by ambush. Then he killed another one in the same way. Then he killed two of them. The last three were scared and begged for their lives even though they couldn’t see my Great grandpa. He then killed two more. The last one he told that his life was spared so that he could remember in his waking moments and dreams what he and his relatives had done. The RCMP eventually heard about the murders of the Frenchmen and came with an army of RCMP and caught my great grandpa and took him to the Thunderbay jail. They tortured him there by raping him and cutting him up with whips and pissing on him and throwing salt on him. The white folks wanted to hang him and tried to lynch him. The lone Frenchman came to the court and told the truth of what had happened and the courts reluctantly released my great grandpa. Still some wanted to hang my great grandpa because he had killed 6 of their men.

- Omar Peters was my dad’s uncle and he had been the hereditary chief chosen by the people of Lac Des Milles Lac early in the 30’s. There had been a huge community that lived at the juncture of the rivers that met at the headwaters of Lac Des Milles Lac. Here was a portage that was only a half-mile and it was the shortest portage around. The waters that flowed north to the Hudson Bay and the rivers that flowed south could be joined here. So there was a good reason for a community to dwell here. And dwell they did to the tune of 2000 or so. A white man by the name of Mathis had come and he had started logging there. The first generation white pines were huge and easily they were more than a hundred and fifty years old. Mathis and an Indian agent agreed to harvest the timber there. The chief agreed on the condition that the community would benefit to the tune of a three million dollar trust fund that would benefit the community forever. 3 million in 1935 was a lot of money. Some of the community members weren’t happy with the interest money they were receiving and plotted ways on how to get more. The Indian agent agreed to payouts on a percentage basis, the first ones opting out getting the most till in 1975 there was only 86 band members and if you opted out you would get 20.00 dollars. The interest cheque that came every year was 20.00 dollars. If one chose to opt out that Indian would forfeit there rights to being an Indian and would no longer be an Indian, but would be a modestly rich Canadian for a while. When the Liberal Government of Canada enacted Bill C-31 many of these members came back on the band list but without their payouts. In 1980 we still got the 20-dollar cheque till they stopped around 1985 when Lawrence Chapman became elected chief and our membership ballooned up to over 500 members.

1900- A white woman had come from way up past Lac Des Milles Lac or Zhatesskawnking and she spoke a different language. They had originally had found her alone in this camp that had a lot of houses and teepees and such. It was strange though, it seemed like the village had disappeared overnight and had left her and their prized possessions behind. It seemed like a hand had reached out and took the people away. She had many sewn bundles of birch bark and it smelled like smoked meat. They brought her down river to join the group, as this was there hospitable custom. They noticed that when others from down river came to visit she always came close to the children and at first that behavior wasn’t noticeable till some of the woman did notice it later. She also never ate meat or fish that was offered. The women hatched a plan and asked her to go with them to pick blueberries. She reluctantly agreed and set off for the fields with the woman. The men then went into her wigwam and broke open the bundles and to their amazement they found human hands, thighs and arms that were smoked. They immediately set off to go get the woman for their sakes and pounced on the cannibal woman and cut off her head. They told the story and went up north to investigate and sure enough they had a running battle with these cannibals. They ate some of my relatives but eventually my relations devised a plan and set out north to capture some of these cannibals. They had to keep them separate because they would kill each other and then eat each other. They got them up to close to Shebandowan and the Medewin told them to cut their heads off and line them up on the beach. This scared the cannibal ones from up north and they never went past the heads at Windigostigwan. 20 years before they had to do the same from some Indians from the south who were also cannibals. They believed that they could take your soul if they could eat you. That’s why they ate each other.

The Mediwin came to be when the Anishinawbe had to do something about the longknives. In order to become a member of the Mediwin Society, she found a blue shell up in a tree to be told by the Bear that she needed to study this way. The purpose of this society was to make the woman strong and make a concentrated force for the men in the Indian White Wars. Then it was to be disbanded after the last of the woman died or if the Indian had his life back. Grandma Aggie had a mink pelt filled with her medicine that she used to stroke the tail outward to bend the wind. She always sang to things along the path that she walked on so she could ask for clearance and recognition for taking thing’s life as she stepped on, through or above them. One of grandma’s and grandpa’s daughters got Tb and they tried to get the Indian ways and Medicine to save her. She died. Grandpa Pete accepted this as the way but grandma was changed and doubted this. Some around her had told her that the white man’s medicine could have saved her. Another one of their daughters got TB and this time grandma put her in the white man’s hands and grandma’s daughter Elsie was saved after cutting off one of Elsie’s lungs. She had to stay at the Thunderbay TB Sanitoreum for a long time. A lot of people were getting TB. Grandma changed and tried to incorporate the white Christianity and Indian Medicine ways into one. She also tried to understand and live amongst the whites. She started drinking and she was conflicted till she died.

1957 - Grandpa Pete , old man Pete Spoon and others did not believe that the Queen of England could just write on a piece of paper and create a reserve. They called a reserve as a bad piece of leather scrap and they had no relationship with the Indian agent or the concept of a reserve whatsoever. They had cottages, wigwams, portable tents or houses all up and down the river and they made many portages. They talked about being able to go up north to the land of the human eaters and then past them to the land of the place where the trees don’t grow anymore. They also spoke of going towards the sun at its high point from where we recently came from, the Mikmaq, and going down the mississippi, the great river and going for many moons and winds and not being able to get to the very end. There were many Anishinawbe and they spoke by sign and song. Grandpa Pete and many others of his generation had stayed around the Rainy Lake area because it was a crossing point to many directions and also had many islands to stay on to hide. The sturgeon were plentiful and there were many other animals around including buffalo, caribou, mountain lion and pink swans. The five-dollar treaty money had drawn many Indians to live on the reserve as well as the new type of “free” food like spam, margarine, sugar and salt. Five dollars in those days could buy a lot of goods. You had to live on the reserve to get this and they also gave my grandma a book where she could enter her names of her children as they were born and she could get five dollars per child. Some woman tried to invent children or had as many as they could. Grandma was perplexed and her wavering translated to her children taking this stuff from the white man with the exception of Agnes, Sam and Benny. They had remained with my grandpa as he took care of them.

1957 - Grandpa said that early on or at the beginnings of the Treaty system, people got a gun, a box of bullets, steel wire, brass wire, lard, salt, nails, whiskey, sugar , wool blankets, knives and five dollars for helping the queen fight her grey and blue brother. His father had to kill 7 Frenchman when they tried to rape my great grandma. He left one of them alive and thankfully he told the truth and my great grandpa wasn’t executed. He did spend many years in a prison and was let go when the surviving Frenchman told the truth. With this and also his mom’s stories of the massacre on my grandpa’s mind he never took anything from the white man till his pension when he turned 68 or so. He was very disappointed in some of his children when they took some of this stuff. He did sell furs and booze to make money but mostly he lived off of the land and avoided the white man as much as he could. In the town of Fort Frances he had made friends with a Chinese man and his family and from that experience he told us of the faraway land of China. I was always amazed at the deep understanding that they had even though they both didn’t speak English or a common guttural language but rather through sign language.The New Residential School opened in 1958-1959. The old one was burnt down accidentally.

” The stories that my Great Grandparents, my Grandparents and Relations to me were coloured by a strong sense of oral history. The stories that were told are so vivid for me that I can pass this on as well.

My grandpa told me that the computer was just a pile of mud and sticks that was put together in a certain protocol. (It reminds me of the Pahpattahbun.)The protocol for all things are the ingredients for loud magic and quiet magic. A song here. A chant there. An offering here. A story there. A conversation here. A dance there. Take some trust in the Great Mystery. Add some order and top it all with a lot of chaos. Bang.

This story came from my Great Grandma and my Grandpa.

“ a white bear woke up with nothing to do and it was cold. It was very cold and he wondered what to do. A tiny light was seen in the distance and it came closer and nearer. As it came within sniffing distance, White Bear felt the warmth coming from it. White Bear went towards it. The light turned out to be the sun and it went overhead. Gee-sis, the sun, warmed White Bear. Gee-sis turned into Gee-shick. The sun turned into day. The sun, Gee-sis, shone light around so White bear could see the thousand colors of the snow all around. White Bear felt a shiver and he noticed, ever so slightly, that the sun was getting smaller. The sun was leaving. Continue Reading »
