In gentle swells and azure bright. Reflections of the coming night; Thy wooded shores of spruce and pine. Forever hold thee close entwine. Thy lovely isles and babbling rills. Whose music soft my soul enthrills; What wondrous power and mystic hands. Hath wrought thy beach of golden sands. What artist's eye mid painter's brush. Hath caught thy waters as they rush. And stilled them all and then unfurled. The grandest picture of the world— So fair, so sweet to look upon. Thy beauteous bay, Chequamegon.

  • Outline of United States Federal Indian Law and Policy
    Outline of United States federal Indian law and policy The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to United States federal Indian law and policy: Federal Indian policy – establishes the relationship between the United States Government and the Indian Tribes within its borders. The Constitution gives the federal government primary responsibility for dealing with tribes. Law and U.S. public policy related to Native Americans have evolved continuously since the founding of the United States. David R. Wrone argues that the failure of the treaty system was because of the inability of an individualistic, democratic society to recognize group rights or the value of an organic, corporatist culture represented by the tribes.[1] U.S. Supreme Court cases List of United States Supreme Court cases involving Indian tribes Citizenship Adoption Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v.

  • They Would Not Be Moved : the Chippewa Treaty of 1854 / Edmund
    N AUGUST, 1854, Commissioner of Indian Affairs George W. Manypenny directed Agent Henry C. Gil­ bert of Detroit to arrange a treaty council with the Chippewa Indians to extinguish their titles to certain lands at the head of Lake Superior. The agent was also to establish reservations as future homes for the Lake Superior bands living along the shores of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. ^ THEY Gilbert, head of the Mackinac Agency which embraced afi the Indians in Michigan as wefi as the Lake Superior Chippewa, dispatched a special messenger by way of Chicago and St. Paul WOULD to his Minnesota counterpart, Agent David B. Herriman, at Crow Wing. Gilbert asked Herriman to bring to the council ground a delegation of Mississippi River Chippewa chiefs and headmen who also claimed ownership of the lands in question. The Mack­ NOT inac agent left Detroit on August 26 and arrived at La Pointe, Wisconsin, on September 1. Herriman joined him about two weeks later.- BE The tiny vifiage of La Pointe on Madeline Island, offshore from Bayfield, Wisconsin, was an appropriate setting for treaty talks. La Pointe had been a focal point for white settlement on Lake Superior since the zestful days of French fur traders and MOVED missionaries. Thirteen miles long and averaging three miles wide, Madeline is the largest of the Apostle Island chain. Set against clear blue waters and skies, its rugged beauty com­ «e?> mands admiration. Red and brown sandstone shores loom wild and bold, while pleasant hills and stately elms, pines, and cedars exude cool serenity.

  • The Franciscan Mission to the Wisconsin Chippewa: the Evidence of Sermons
    The Franciscan Mission to the Wisconsin Chippewa: The Evidence of Sermons LAWRENCE T. MARTPN University of Akron In 1875-76 about a hundred Franciscan Friars came to North America as exiles from the persecutions of Catholics in the Prussian Kulterkampf and within three years they had taken up Indian mission work. In 1878 the bishop of LaCrosse, who then had charge of all of northern Wisconsin, invited them to undertake the mission to the Chippewa or Ojibwe people in the area under his responsibility. Two years later they extended their work to the Menomini in northeastern Wisconsin, and in 1884 they also took over the mission to the Ottawa at the northern extreme of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (Habig 1958:148-9, 497). The area served by the Franciscans' mission to the Chippewa covered a large area, more or less the northern third of Wisconsin plus some of Minnesota. The Franciscans divided this large area into four mission districts: 1) The Lake Superior region, especially the area around Chequamegon Bay, which included La Pointe on Madeline Island, the Red Cliff reservation north of Bayfield and the Bad River reservation just east of Ashland. From here the Franciscans also regularly visited Lac du Flambeau, the easternmost outpost of their mission to the Chippewa. r 2) The Chippewa River Valley, from the Lac Courte Oreilles reservation down the river to Flambeaufarm, at the intersection of the Flambeau and Chippewa Rivers, a few miles north of the town of Chippewa Falls. 3) The St. Croix River valley, in Burnett and Polk counties.
