- June 2014: From 1845 to 1880, he maintained a trading ledger that recorded transactions for items like beaver pelts using drawings of dodems and individuals. His traditional name was Petawachuan, but he acquired his surname from a nickname given while guiding duck hunters. Following the signing of the Robinson-Huron Treaty, he wrote to the government in Ottawa to protect sacred lands from a proposed railway through Dokis.[1]
