Catherine Asscy

Mrs. Catherine Asscy ( born c1877) is listed as # 1444 on the 1907 Wooster Roll where she is identified as the married daughter of Mr. Christine Trudeau # 1437. Catherine's traditional name is recorded as "Weshiba" but no meaning is offered. The name and its meaning and context require scrutiny and comment by those with expertise in nuances of the Anishinaabemowin language and Potawatomi culture.

In 1907 when Mrs. Catherine Asscy was age 30 she was living at an unnamed community on Manitoulin, Ontario where she held full rights in Canada.
