M aking Tracks A message from the editor Nineteen hundred and eighty five was year in which we looked towards the ture. After a year of George Orwell id 1984, building construction, and riding a place for ourselves, we real- ed that life was not as pessimistic as :hers would have us believe. Many pre- ictions that we feared never material- ed or were lessened by our own indi- dual and collective ability to rise to lallenges and meet them. We found strength in our friends, family and our- selves and turned it out into our world. This was a year of spirit, strength, and stepping out. We realized that we are the sum of our environment and its his- tory, and our efforts and traditions. Once we learned the stories behind the happenings, it made our world a more interesting one. Now we had something tangible to hold onto. We could answer with confidence now that the story was told. Take your time in your walk back through this past year. It belonged to you and you became a part of it. This was the year we made tracks for the future by following the paths of our past.

As dawn purpled the autumn sky, a Shawnee Indian princess named Mishawaka waited on the banks of the St. Joseph River for her husband to return. Zke Story of a Princess ccording to legend, Mishawaka was the daughter of Chief Elk- hart of the Shawanee Indian tribe. He became a great rival and en- emy of the Potowatomies. Between these two tribes lived a peaceful one called the Ottawas. Chief Elkhart wanted more land and sent angry messages to Chief Pokagon, head of the Potowatomies. Gradually, the two tribes began quarreling and bat- tling with one another. Chief Elkhart moved his tribe to Three Rivers, Michigan, so that he could surround and descend upon the unwary Potowatomies. Chief Elkhart was sly and greedy. At this particular battle was Princess Mishawaka, who was skilled in the bow and arrow and horsemanship, even more so than many of the braves. She could also fish and hunt and wanted to help lead her people with her father. Princess Mishawaka regularly fought battles alongside the braves of the tribe. However, she usually was not in the thick of the fighting; her father would not allow it. She was too beautiful to be married and she must marry someday. On this day, as on the many before, Mishawaka donned her war paint, her leggins and boots, and tucked her hair under her headpiece. However, this time her father met with disaster. He was wounded and could not lead his people. Mishawaka saw this and in an instant knew she must take charge. She wanted to save her father, the battle, and her people. As she clung to her bows and arrows she dug her heels into the side of her horse and rushed toward the enemy. She was galloping at such a high rate of speed, and, partially due to the confu- sion caused by the incident, her braves fell well behind her. Soon she found herself surrounded by the Potowato- mies and taken prisoner. There Chief Pokagon waited for Chief Elkhart to reclaim his daughter and strike a trade, perhaps smoke the peace pipe. Fearing that Chief Elkhart and his braves would try to steal her back, Chief Pokagon went to Chief Wakazoo of the Ottawa tribe asking him to keep watch over her. They complied. This transac- tion afforded Princess Mishawaka a good deal of freedom. She was a prin- cess and was treated kindly. She made many friends among the Ottawas. One person she came to admire and exchange glances with quite frequently was a white man named Dead Shot. He was a scout and friend of the Ottawas, especially a young brave named Lynx Eye. Dead Shot had saved Lynx Eye from a pack of hungry wolves one win- ter in the wilderness and they became blood brothers, inseparable. Because of their hospitality and the wisdom and fairness of Chief Wakazoo, Dead Shot stayed with the Ottawas. Many Indian chiefs, sub-chiefs and white men wanted to marry the prin- cess. She was never without suitors. Be- cause of her quick mind, lovely face, jet black hair, and independent spirit, she was instantly liked by everyone. One chief in particular, a sub-chief of the Shawanees, wanted desperately to marry her. He was equally stubborn in his beliefs and would not rest until the deed was done. Princess Mishawaka however, would not have anything to to with him. He was arrogant, demanding, and quick to anger. She would have no part of his behavior, much to her fa- ther ' s dismay. Gray Wolf would make a fine catch as someday he would be a powerful chief. Perhaps this is the rea- son Chief Elkhart made no attempt to reclaim his daughter; she had disobeyed him. Or, perhaps Elkhart was too arro- gant himself to surrender to the Potowatomies. 2 Princess Story
