My mother always told us kids that our great-great grandmother was full-blooded Ojibwa, but since I’ve never been able to prove it, I don’t even mention it. I’ve got two photos of her, and she does look like she could be indian, but since her marriage certificate shows her parents as members of the Church of England, I just figured the story was a bunch of hooey.
We must be related! Our family has the exact same story - great-great-grandmother through our French Canadian grandfather was North Lake Superior Ojibwa.
