A petty chief of the Red Lake band. Died some years ago at a very
old age. Was a great hunter, and farmed considerably also. Was much
respected by the Red Lake bands, and especially so by the whites.
1073. ME-JAW-KEY-OSH. _Something in the Air Gradually Falling to
the Earth._ RED LAKE.
A brave but recently made a chief of the Red Lake Chippewas, and is
ranked as the very bravest of all his tribe. Had always been
accustomed to fight the Sioux, but after the massacre of 1862-'63
re-organized and led a small party of from six to ten of his bravest
men against them every summer for some time, killing with his own
hand fifteen of their enemies and bringing home their scalps. Was a
crafty warrior and knew well how to slay his foe without losing his
own life. He still lives, farming and hunting for a living, and is a
man of great influence in his band.
