a, The singer of this song is a sister of William Warren, the historian of the Chippewa. Her family lived 

 on Madeline island when she was a child, and this song came from there. It is a strange experience to 

 talk with one who remembers when there were only one or two boats on Lake Superior, and who stood 

 on the present site of Duluth when it was peopled only by a few Indians. On one occasion Mr. Warren 

 and his sister, with a party of Chippewa, camped where Duluth now stands. As they were taking 

 their departure Mr. Warren stood beside his canoe on the shore, stretched out his hand over the water, 

 and said, "Some day this lake will be a highway of water where hundreds of boats will come and go;" 

 then he pointed to the little group of tipis and said, "My brothers, you and I will never see it. but some 

 day a great city will stand thtre." The Indians pointed significantly to their foreheads. Their brother 

 had been too long in the hot sun, and even his sister entered the canoe with a heavy heart.
