THE SECRET LIFE OF CHIEF NAMAKAGON

Who was he before he came to NW Wisconsin? Was he a fugitive wanted for murder? An adventurer caught between two worlds, his deeds propelled him into fame. Share Namakagon’s courageous story—the true tale of an Ojibwe chief’s early life—kept secret until 2014 when James Brakken’s research unearthed the truth—128 years after Namakagon’s death!

Because the US Army decleard him dead in 1846 and because James Brakken solved his mysterious disapearance then, the author solved a 168-year-old cold case, thus changing histories written about Chief Namakagon's life and death!
