Notes for Miskwandibagan Miskahwandebahga
Misk-wan-di-ba-gan aka
Mis-kah-wan-de-bah-gahn
This person was probably a red-headed Frenchman named Racine
male, born around 1550, son of Gi-ji-gos-se-kot.
His name is given by Kohl in French as "l'homme a la tete rouge." This seems to be a correct translation as a man who had over his head a red animal skin.
At this period the Chippewa were roaming over a large section of Eastern Canada and nearing the Great Lakes.
