    this is an incredible series. we need to listen to our indigenous voices -- they are the only way we will survive this ecological cataclysm.

    The Bad River runs through a Wisconsin State Park (Copper Falls). That Park is worth a trip if you're ever in the area (about 30 miles South-East of Ashland).

    "Bad" River is a historical name. Used by the voyageurs to refer to a troublesome river loaded with roots, treefalls, sandbars and other obstructions that made their work very hard.

      Also because of flooding. The 'bad river' that flows through copper falls got that name because its floods killed a lot of CCC members.

    I am a Badriver Ojibwe, Menominee and part Norwegian that has family on both reservations. My grandmother was Irene Rabideaux and she married John Fossum from Neopit. I am also a descendant of the Chiricahua Apache prisoner of war that ended up at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Am descended from Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache chief's Victorio, Mangas Coloradas, Loco and US Chiricahua Apache scouts Charles Martine Sr and Paul Guydelkon Sr. Scout Martine and his cuz Chiricahua Apache scout Kayitah along with Lt. Charles Gatewood found Naiche and Geronimo in Mexico in 1886 and managed to get them to surrender, ending the Apache Wars in the great southwest, where I live today.

    Spent many summers in Wisconsin when dad was alive. When my father Gaynell John Fossum was close to the end of his life from cancer in 2015, he had lived among the Apache for over 50 years and was loved by them. I asked him, "Dad do you want to be buried here with the Apaches?", he said, "Fuck no, Christ I've had enuff of these Apaches"....man we had a good laugh! I wish he would have taught me his Menominee language. I also have some old old Ojibwe lacrosse sticks my father gave to me....

    Bad River doesn't refer to the river being evil or satanic, it's a reference to it being tough going by canoe due to many fallen trees and floodwood the farther upriver you go -- and then you reach solid rock and rapids.

    Strong message- For sure, if we lose belief in the Spirit, the creator, God, and Allah, then we lose everything and life turns into an empty misery.
    We can't turn our back on the past, for the past is what's giving life meaning.
    The modern way of life is bad, very bad, and very empty- to have money and use money is not what we were created for, to be rich is to have a pure heart and do what is good, to be aware of that we all are brothers and sisters no matter what religion, race and nationality,
    we are all God's children.

    Remember: the Ojibwe were interlopers on to the lands in Northern Wisconsin. They fought and defeated the Lakota Sioux, that were there in the early 1600's. The Lakota Sioux were driven across the Mississippi in the 1640's and had to change their way of life from "woodland" to "great plains".

      Actually the Ojibwa were on the lakes before the ice age the ice pushed them east and then when the ice melted they came back ... and found the Sioux in northern Wisconsin... they found other tribes in northern Michigan and took it back from them while in alliance with the Ottawa and powtawami.... there is a history that is way before the 1600s way before Columbus way before adam
