Charles Kawbawgam, “The Last Chief of the Chippewa,” is a legend
in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for allegedly living to age 103
(1799-1902). But few know anything else about him beyond his being
buried in Marquette’s beautiful Presque Isle Park. Kawbawgam
witnessed a period of intense industrial growth and unheralded
change for Native Americans. Growing up at Sault Sainte Marie when
the area was still claimed by Great Britain, his first memory was
of armed Americans coercing his people into ceding their lands to
the United States Government. As the son, nephew, stepson, and
later son-in-law of Ojibwa chiefs, and in time a chief in his own
right, Kawbawgam learned early that he would have to walk a fine
line to keep the peace for his people.<br>
<br>
After temporarily migrating to Canada with other Ojibwa in
disagreement with the American government, he returned to the
Sault where he was recruited to help found the town of Marquette
Kawbawgam would preside over an Ojibwa and metis community that
ensured the white community’s survival during Marquette’s early
years, only to be pushed to the community’s margins as the city
grew and prospered. Yet the admiration and affection he won from
whites as well as the Ojibwa ensured peace and a legacy that lives
on today. Kawbawgam is a story of cross-cultural friendships,
survival amid upheaval, and the importance of community and
heritage. <br>
