In an expression of loss and gain, the taking away and picking up, can we really ever reclaim the things that have been lost?  Using stop - frame digital imagery and digital video, the ebb and flow of language and culture as witnessed by a young anishinaabe man comes to the fore.

John Hupfield is a writer, filmmaker and member of the Wasauksing First Nation.  One of the nine tribes of the Potawatomi Nation.

Boy how times have changed for the Potawatomi, now it is very common to have Potawatomi tribes with national news feeds that collect news for their tribes and filter it back to tribal members so that everyone can be better informed, a clear example of this comes from Wasauksing First Nation, one of the nine Potawatomi tribes that has a up to date news feed service, these news feeds are how i get news to report.

Actor Adam Beach First Nation

Actor Adam Beach is from the Wasauking First Nation, one of the nine bands of Potawatomi.  He is one of Canada's most prominent actors and has made it a priority to star in more Native American movies.

Adam has already stared in "WindTalkers and Flag's of our father's" and he makes a point to always sneak in his tribal pride in his interviews.  I have over a dozen interviews that he brings up his heritage.  Adam even ran for Tribal Chief and states his first love is for his people and to show a accurate description of the Native American. 

Adam was born in Manitoba and has stared in "Law and Order,"  he is currently working on many other projects due out shortly.

Tommy Prince First Nation

On the right

Born in Manitoba Canada, he was one of eleven children of Henry and Arabella Prince.  Growing up, Prince became a superb marksman with great tracking skills from his countless days in the wilderness on the Wasauksing First Nation Indian reservation in Canada.

Prince is recognized as the most decorated aboriginal solider in Canada, it is interesting at the use of the politically correct word of aboriginal instead of Native American, American Indian or Potawatomi band.  Wasauksing First Nation is one of the nine tribes of the Potawatomi Nation.

The Clint Eastwood movie "Flags of our Father" is a movie about Prince from the Wasaunsing First Nations and includes a Wasaunsing First Nation actor, Adam Beach.

This Potawatomi tribe established a reservation back in 1850, the name Wasauksing means "White Birtch Reflecting Off Water" consists of three different villages or communities in the beginning.  Each represented by the nations of the Ojibaw, Odewa and Potawatomi.  Eventually the three different villages would become one community.

Wasauksing today covers 19,000 acres, 78 miles of lake shore and is the second largest island of the Great Lakes.  They are part of Canada's First Nation people.

Many of the members of Wasauksing come from Michigan.  Many of this tribes membership traces their roots from Wisconsin and Michigan.

They recently opened seven housing units in what is being recognized as The government of Canada being committed to create  safe and affordable housing for Aboriginal people in Ontario and across the country.  To read the entire story link They also have a adult education program Adult education link  and a library Wasauksing First Nation Library Link The last reported census in 3006 had the population at 350 people and all of them identify themselves as Native American.  To see the census report.  Last published census report link
