John Okemos
John Okemos (Chief Okemos) (ca. 1775-1858) was a Michigan Ojibwe (Chippewa) chief. He participated in Tecumseh's War and was a signatory of the Treaty of Saginaw.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bay-journal.com/bay/1he/writings/okemos-chief.html )〕 "Okemos" was the anglicised form of his Ojibwe language name ''ogimaans'' meaning "Little Chief". "John" was an adopted name. ==Early years== The exact date and location of Okemos' birth is unknown, although it's widely attributed to Shiawassee County, Michigan. Two registered historical markers attribute his birth here, possibly around the Knaggs Bridge area. He was probably born in the mid-1770s (although at least one of his white contemporaries - Freeman Bray - put his birth year as far back as the 1750s). When deposed in 1856, Chief Okemos made the following statement: “I was born in Michigan, near Pontiac, on an island in a lake… I was 30 years old when I left the place I was born.” One possible location that Okemos was referring to could be Apple Island in Orchard Lake, located in present-day Orchard Lake, Michigan.〔http://www.gwbhs.org/education/apple-island/〕 Okemos indicated that his mother's father was the Ojibwa chief Min-e-to-gob-o-way and his uncle was the Ottawa chief Kob-e-ko-no-ka.
