This is another of the William Johnston collected manuscripts from the Schoolcraft Papers. Although conflating probably a couple centuries worth of conflicts under Saugemau, a powerful leader with great shamanistic powers, Chusco's tale is of tremendous importance for ethnohistorical research. I have added comments, making what connections I can, though probably the tip of the iceberg. His version of war with the Mascouten should be further impetus for seeking Mascouten archeological sites in NW Michigan.

Michigan's Indian Agent Richard M. Smith created a series of "Registers" in 1867, under provisions of the treaty of March 18, 1864 with the Chippewas of Saginaw, Swan Creek and Black River in order to determine who was eligible to receive land allotments under this treaty. His registers list the individuals who selected lands under provisions of an earlier treaty with these same Chippewas and includes the names of their spouse and children. These registers are a valuable genealogical source for members of these bands of Chippewas.

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.

Bead researcher Mary Elizabeth Good died December 18, 2007. A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, she was 77 years old. Mary Elizabeth was well-known and respected as an early researcher of trade beads in North America. Her first publication, “Guebert Site: An 18th century Historic Kaskaskia Indian Village in Randolph County, Illinois” (1972), is considered a classic in bead studies. Mary Elizabeth was active in the Society of Bead Researchers, serving as Chair of the Publications Committee from 1989 to 1993, and as President of the Society from 1994 to 1996. The bead community has lost an important member.

The second half of the eighteenth century was an important period in the protohistory of anthropology as well as in the history of ethnographic collecting. After more than two centuries of European expansion into other parts of the world, the enormous mass of observational data on the manners and customs of a wide variety of peoples, which had been accumulated more or less randomly, begged to be compared, classified, and explained. In the short run, Joseph François Lafitau's comparative approach of 1724 was less influential (partly, no doubt, because his book was not translated into English for nearly 250 years) than Carl Linné's Systema naturae (1735), whose taxonomic scheme was adapted to the needs of a classificatory interest in peoples and their cultures. It was the creation of terms descriptive of the subject matter (such as "culture") and-in the context of a proposed Systema populorum-of the discipline itself (i.e., "ethnography" and its 44

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.
