It was recorded that on “9 May 1797 – Watapineesh and family (^Chippewa) arrived from the Piniere and presented eight Makaks of sugar.” Then again on “10 May 1797 – Watapineesh received presents for himself & band consisting of fourteen – he was very well pleased and went away contented.” These are Ojibwe people, but the Odawa were not to be outdone; it was recorded that on 11 May 1797 that “Mitaminance & Nioukauté Ottawa Chiefs arrived from Arbre Croche they presented Twenty Makaks of sugar.”
