Our Story
The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians (Gun Lake Tribe) is part of the historic Three Fires Confederacy, an alliance of the Pottawatomi (Bodewadmi), Ottawa (Odawa) and Chippewa (Ojibwe). Tribal Nations in the Great Lakes region are also known as the Neshnibek, or original people.
Under the command of Chief Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish, the Three Fires Confederacy signed the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 with the United States government. At the turn of the 19th century, the Chief's Band inhabited the Kalamazoo River valley, with the primary village located at the head of the river's head.
In 1821, Chief Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish signed the Treaty of Chicago, the first land cession to the U.S. government that directly affected his Band. Under the treaty's terms, the Tribe retained a three-square-mile reservation located at present-day downtown Kalamazoo.
The U.S. and Pottawatomi Tribes signed the Treaty of St. Joseph in 1827, ceding the tribes' rights to the Kalamazoo reserve. Neither payment nor land was ever provided to the Chief's Band, leading to a period of constant northern movement in an effort to avoid removal to the west. The Band briefly settled in Cooper, Plainwell and Martin before permanently settling in Bradley, near Gun Lake, circa 1838. ...

@#9 ... "This site has quirks." Superb double entendre! ..
My guess is that the backroom hamsters who run this site are willing to deal with the problems they know, rather than start changing/fixing things and then having to deal with the problems they do not know.
Stated differently, as much as we all like to participate on this most august site, it may not make enough money to warrant changes to the code that runs this site.
That's just my guess, though.
Nothing more, nothing less.
