This is a biographical sketch of the Odaawaa Chief Mookomaanish (aka Little Knife aka Mokomaunish aka Pebamitapi). Mookomaanish fought alongside the British during the War of 1812, was a chief of L'Arbre Croche, in upper state Michigan, specifically the village of the Cross (aka Cross Village), and later a chief in Wikwemikong on Manitoulin Island. He signed treaties on the American and Canadian side after the war. This paper traces his policies, diplomatic interactions and speeches.

The ethnographic artifacts deposited by Father Friderik Baraga in 1837 in the Carniolian Provincial Museum in Ljubljana are of substantial importance for the local and temporal attribution of regional styles of the Native arts of the Great Lakes region of North America. Since Baraga’s contacts with Ottawa and Chippewa Indians between 1831 and 1836 are well documented, and since additional information can be derived from various lists of the objects prepared at the time of their accession, the collection can help to shed light on other, less well documented materials.
A general discussion of the problems inherent in the interpretation of historically collected ethnographic specimens and their importance for historical ethnography is illustrated by comparative perspectives on selected artifacts from the Baraga collection.

Communities with a history of cultural misunderstanding and political conflict can come together to steward a shared watershed. One such example of multijurisdictional collaboration is demonstrated in the Big Manistee River Watershed by the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians (LRBOI) designing and implementing a restoration program for the imperiled fish, the Lake Sturgeon, or Nmé, in the Tribe’s language (Anishinaabemowin). The program has brought together residents of the watershed around distinctive—but compatible—conceptions of sustainability. Key to the success of the program is its emphasis on the relationships connecting culture, politics and sustainability. Restoration is not only about numbers of fish; it is also about the involvement of community members at all levels of the restoration process itself. Through participation and ceremony, individuals develop their own genuine relationships to nonhuman species, expand or adapt their worldviews to others, and learn to act collectively on behalf of the sustainability of the watershed.
