Research Notebooks & Notes on
Ottawa Native American Land Claims
Emmet County and Harbor Springs, MI
This is a group of 2 Notebooks; 1 large spiral 28 page handwritten notes, 1 small spiral bound notebook with 44 pages of notes and addresses. 27 pages of research notes (26 typed & 1 handwritten) relating to the life's work of Ottawa Native American leader Jonas Shawanesse, who represented as Tribal Historian the Burt Lake Band of Ottawa and th...e Little Traverse Bay Indian Club of Harbor Springs. He spent his adult life fighting to reclaim the lands lost by his people from 1820-1850 through US Government treaties and less than favorable land deals. The group contains mostly notes on treaties & court cases that are related to the land claims of the Ottawa of Emmet County against the US Government. TCondition of all is very good, typical yellowing from age (see images). This group of research notes will make a nice addition to your own research.
