[edit] The other Waubojeeg

Like so many 18th-century Ojibwe chiefs, Waubojeeg's name was used in the next generations. In particular, there was a Mississippi Ojibwe chief who signed a number of treaties in the mid-19th century. He was also one of Warren's informants. Does anyone know enough about him to make a stub so we can disambiguate?Leo1410 (talk) 21:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Winchell lists three Waab-o-jeeg:

1. son of Ma-mon-ga-se-da, 1747-1793, related to wabasha, man of large though slender frame, his youngest daughter was married to Irish trader Johnson, and a granddaughter became HR Schoolcraft's wife (School. 139; War. 248, 447; School. 30yr. 401)(11 lines)
2. grandson of No-ka, namesake of above, Sandy Lake, killed near Mille Lacs c. 1805 by Dakota, same as Wa-bo-jeeg (Tan. 81; War. 351)(4 lines)
3. in 1852, a petty sub-chief on the upper Mississippi (Gull Lake), endowed in 1826 a metal by Cass, met Schoolcraft in council in 1832, father was Pu-gu-sain-ji-gun, same as U-a-bo-jig (War. 394; School. Exp. Itasca 115, 249; Pike 74; Kapp. 1826, 1837, 1844, 1847, 1857, 1863; Gil Mss.; Isle Royale, Ind. Com.)(23 lines)

By far, the third with the most lines of entry, should be the primary Waub-o-jeeg article, with other two as linked from a disambiguations. Does this help? CJLippert (talk) 04:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)(minor additions CJLippert (talk) 15:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC))
