Bad River Ojibwe History | Tribal Histories

The Bad River runs through a Wisconsin State Park (Copper Falls). That Park is worth a trip if you're ever in the area (about 30 miles South-East of Ashland).

Strong statement by Ojibwe, "it's a medicine river not badriver"

Excellent program! Thank you to PBS Wisconsin, for making this program available.

This is so interesting and some beautiful interviews. Thanks so much.

Such a beautiful ending , souls are awaking and wanting to connect back to source ❤

Some interesting history here. I live not far from this area.

Part of a story from my mother - and when our bottles clanked too loud the nuns would come out to investigate and we'd hide behind the tombstones so they wouldn't catch us drinkin' and beat us and end that story with a hearty indian giggle!

Thank you for helping me reconnect

I'm an Ojibwe, I live just North of the Bad River Reservation on the Red Cliff Indian Reservation

this is an incredible series. we need to listen to our indigenous voices -- they are the only way we will survive this ecological cataclysm.

😂this was what I needed at 2:18 in the AM ohemgeeeee I love this so much. It' makes me happy to know YouTube is informational and have the opportunity to listen to my elders

I am a Badriver Ojibwe, Menominee and part Norwegian that has family on both reservations. My grandmother was Irene Rabideaux and she married John Fossum from Neopit. I am also a descendant of the Chiricahua Apache prisoner of war that ended up at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Am descended from Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache chief's Victorio, Mangas Coloradas, Loco and US Chiricahua Apache scouts Charles Martine Sr and Paul Guydelkon Sr. Scout Martine and his cuz Chiricahua Apache scout Kayitah along with Lt. Charles Gatewood found Naiche and Geronimo in Mexico in 1886 and managed to get them to surrender, ending the Apache Wars in the great southwest, where I live today.

Beautiful

"Bad" River is a historical name. Used by the voyageurs to refer to a troublesome river loaded with roots, treefalls, sandbars and other obstructions that made their work very hard.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO 💜

My Grandfather was born and raised on the reservation in Callaway Minnesota and played on a Callaway native baseball team. I had a photo of him in his baseball uniform painted on my motorcycle tank.

Chii Miigwetch for sharing

Who else felt connected to the part about the Eagle?

I wonder if this is why my mom was so good at field hockey, and me street hockey.

THE SPIRITIS BLESS THE OBJIBWE
