Andaigweos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andaigweos, also written as Ou-daig-weos and other variants of Ojibwa: Aandegwiiyaas (Crow's Meat), was an Ojibwe leader who lived in the Zhaagawaamikong (Chequamegon) region in present-day Wisconsin on Lake Superior during the 18th century. Andaigweos was member of the Loon doodem. He was born on Madeline Island in the early 18th century. His father was from Canada (likely Sault Ste. Marie area) and moved to the western end of Lake Superior during the Ojibwe migrations of the 1700s. In his youth, the hereditary chiefs at Zhaagawaamikong were members of the Crane doodem.
