Clara Oginikwe Assance

Clara Assance is # 1838 on the 1907 Wooster Roll where she is identified as the daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Assance # 1837. Clara's traditional name is recorded as "Oginikwe" but no translation is offered so the name, its translation and context require scrutiny and comment by those with expertise in nuances of the Anishinaabemowin language and Potawatomi culture.

In 1907 when Clara Assance was age 10 she was living at South Bay, Manitoulin Island, Ontario where she held full rights in Canada.
