Today we venerate Elevated Ancestor & Saint to many, War Chief Obwandiyag aka Pontiac on the 254th anniversary of his passing 🕊

A true legend among Great Lakes Nations leaders, Chief Obwandiyag is a Chief of Ottawa Nation and is a go-to for matters of justified warfare & diplomacy toward self-liberation. He is the great orator & mastermind who corralled several Great Lakes Nations in a major rebellion against thousands of British colonizers invading Turtle Island in what became known as, "Pontiac's War".

After their victory over the French, British Europeans began to infringe upon Indian-French trade routes & invade their land. This angered the Nations and quelled their contempt. Shortly after earning the title of War Chief, Obwandiyag became the honored head of The Council Of Three [Tribes] (the Ottawa, Potawatomi, & Ojibwa) in 1755. In 1762, he enlisted 18 bands across the Three Tribes (and the nearby Peoples of the Huron Tribe) to attack the British Fort Detriot nearest them (in present day Michigan), thus eliminating the British settlements in their territories by 1763. On May 7th 1963, War Chief Pontiac led an army of 300 warriors armed with weapons sheathed in blankets to lay seige on the fort in an attempt to catch them by surprise. They were met with an army of 120 British soliders braced for attack; their commander had received intel of the impending attack. War Chief Pontiac withdrew his army then returned two days later to lay seige on the fort in which they successfully captured & killed many British colonizers.

While War Chief Pontiac's army grew to 900+ warriors across 6 Tribes to drive the British from their lands, he dispatched messengers to other Tribal bands to attack other British forts & settlements across the region. Over the course of several weeks, they encircled the fort, blocking access to supplies & reinforcements. On July 31st, British troops attempted to break Chief Obwandiyag's hold on the fort at his encampment 2mi east in what became known as, the Battle of Bloody Run. Pontiac had been alerted of the attack & successfully killed 20 British soldiers, wounded 34 more - including a British Caption. This spurred the $200 bounty on War Chief Pontiac's head.

After months of battling back persistent waves of British Troops attempting liberate the fort, Chief Obwandiyag eventually withdrew to Illinois country; where 8 of the 12 British forts had been successfully destroyed. Pontiac continued to encourage resistance to the colonizing invaders over the next year, but suffered a blow when the French eventually began to back the British. In 1764, the British petitioned War Chief Pontiac to end his war.

In July 1766, he agreed to the Peace Treaty in Illinois Country. Though Pontiac's War was at an end, his success & influence drew the ire of some other Indian leaders who began to question the expanse of his authority. Chief Obwandiyag was increasingly ostracized. This led to his assassination by a nephew of Chief Makatchinga, a Peoria of the Illinois Confederation. Unfortunately, this spurred more violence & division between both nations and the eventual loss of their strongholds against their once common enemy.

We remember Chief Obwandiyag as more than a great leader of the Ottawa Nation. He was a titan & a hero who fought relentlessly for this sacred land and it's Indigenous protectors. He's seen the devil in a thousand eyes that met the blade of his ax, and he knows what it takes to unify the hearts of nations to beat as one while combating the legacy of White Supremacy that persists like a thorny weed in our side to this day.

"They came with a Bible and their religion. They stole our land and crushed our spirit, and now tell us we should be thankful to the Lord for being saved." - War Chief Obwandiyag 

We pour libations & give Chief Obwandiyag his 💐 today as we honor him for his prowess, leadership, & cleverness that united Nations of Tribes & Bands against colonizing European entities to preserve the sancity of the land we stand on & to protect the Spirits of Earth. May be a beacon for those seeking organized self-defense to continue the fight against the legacy of White Supremacy.

Offering suggestions: tobacco/sweetgrass smoke, libations of water, & Ottawa Nation war drum music

Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari, 1955. The Safari was Pontiac’s version of the Chevrolet Nomad, it was the most expensive Pontiac offered in 1955 with a factory price of $2,962 without options. It remained in production with minor revisions until 1957 but was the slowest selling Pontiac of the era so was withdrawn from the market, though the Safari name was subsequently applied to all full-size Pontiac station wagons.
