Du Vernet refers to \u201cAmerican Indians\u201d twice in his diary. The first instance occurs when he writes about how Tom Overcome and his family went on a long journey to visit the \u201cAmerican Indians.\u201d Du Vernet explains that Mr. Johnston had pleaded with Tom not to undertake the journey for he \u201cfelt so strongly the danger of this.\u201d Tom, with some encouragement from his wife, ended up going on the trip, but tragedy befell. Tom\u2019s wife died on the journey and their baby was soon lost starvation. The second mention occurs on Monday July 18, when Du Vernet references how \u201cAmerican Indians\u201d had come over to the \u201cCanadian\u201d side of the Rainy River to gamble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ojibwe on both sides of the Rainy River maintained their connections with one another through social engagements, as well as economic and cultural exchanges, despite the fact that the Canadian-American border separated them. The establishment of a border between the United States and what is now Canada ignored the fact the Ojibwe constituted their own distinct Nation, whose territory would have straddled both countries on either side of the Rainy River. The border would have been quite arbitrary to the Ojibwe, who continually travelled the expanse of the land and river freely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
