Waubojeeg

Waubojeeg

Waub-o-jeeg also written Wa-bo-jeeg or other variants of Ojibwe "Waabojiig" "White Fisher" (c. 1747-1793) was a famous warrior and chief of the Ojibwa people. He was born into the "Adik" (caribou) doodem some time in the mid 18th century near Shagawamikong on the western end of Lake Superior and died around 1793. His father Ma-mong-a-ze-da was also a noted warrior who fought for the French in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Although Wabojeeg's family had intermarried with the Dakota people during times of peace, and he had several Dakota relatives including the famous chief Wabasha, he fought in several battles against the Dakota and Meskwaki during his lifetime. His children, notably his son "Weshkii" (the renewer) and his youngest daughter Ozhaguscodaywayquay became prominent in the Sault Ste. Marie area.
