last at the top of the hill they found a cavern where the dead form of
the child was discovered.




CHAPTER XI.

The Ottawas Moving Again Towards the Setting Sun--Coming to Manitoulin,
or Ottawa Island--The Names of Their Leaders--The Wenebago Warriors
Coming to Ottawa Island in a Hostile Manner, Headed by O-saw-wah-ne-me-
kee, "The Yellow Thunder"--Death of Kaw-be-naw, one of the Greatest
Prophets and Warriors of the Ottawas--Massacre in the Country of Waw-
gaw-na-ke-zhe, or Arbor Croche, Emmet County, Michigan.


Soon after the loss of the child, the Ottawas abandoned the country and
again moved toward the setting sun until they came to Lake Huron. Here
they discovered a great island which is now called Manitoulin, but
formerly, the Ottawa Island. Here the Ottawas remained for many more
centuries. Here too, was born one of the greatest warriors and prophets
that the Ottawas ever had, whose name was Kaw-be-naw. This word is
accented on the last syllable,--its definition is--"He would be brought
out." There are many curious and interesting adventures related of this
great warrior and prophet, a record of which would require a large
book. But I will here give one of the last acts of his life. It is
related that he became tired of living and killing so many people. He
desired to die; but he could not. It is also related that the We-ne-be-
go tribe of Indians had also one man who was almost equal in power to
Kaw-be-naw whose name was "O-saw-wa-ne-me-kee"--the "Yellow Thunder."
