Baw Beese
Baw Beese (c. 1790〔(Dewey, F.A. ) "Address at the Farmer's Picnic, Devils Lake, August 22, 1883." Vol. 7, Lansing:Pioneer Society of Michigan, 1886. p538.〕–c. 1850) was a Potawatomi Indian chief in the area of Hillsdale, Michigan until November 1840. At this time he and his band were forcibly removed to a reservation in Miami County, Kansas by the U.S. Government under authority of the Indian Removal Act signed into law by Andrew Jackson in 1830. The Indian Removal Act made the voluntary Indian emigrations outlined in the Treaty of Fort Meigs of 1817 and the Treaty of Chicago of 1821 mandatory and militarily enforced.
== History ==
At the time of the Treaty of Chicago, Baw Beese led a band of Indians estimated to be over 150 members. The Baw Beese band of natives had their maize fields, hunting, fishing, and meeting grounds within Hillsdale County, Michigan. Other chiefs of the Baw Beese family lived in surrounding counties in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
As a chief, Baw Beese was reported as holding to a strict code of justice. The execution of his daughter Winona for having murdered her husband Negnaska〔(Fuller,George Newman and Beeson, Lewis )''Michigan History Vol. 6'' Lansing:Michigan State Historical Society, 1922. p582.〕 was not prevented due to his status. Winona's husband had pledged his rifle to Mr Aaron B. Goodwin of Fremont, Indiana for the use of a keg. The Indians had the keg filled at Nichol's store in Jamestown, but Mr Nichol's ended up taking everything they had. The brave sold his squaw's pony to raise the money to retrieve the rifle. Winona owned the pony outright, either as a gift from her father or having bought it with her own money. She killed him in anger for selling what was hers. She was held by the tribe until her husband's nearest relative arrived in a few hours to execute her in the like manner she had killed—with a stab to the heart.
Mr John D. Barnard and Mr Sheldon Havens came across the Indians after the execution and helped move the body of Winona and her husband to a nearby resting place. The bodies were not buried until after the white men were out of sight. This precaution was in vain however because the bodies were taken from the graves by Dr B.F. Sheldon for dissecting only a few days later.〔()''History of Steuben County, Indiana'' Chicago:Inter-state Publishing Company, 1885. pp.550-551.〕
