Jacob Abidassige Snake

Jacob Snake is # 1082 on the 1907 Wooster Roll where he is identified as the grandchild of Mrs. Mary Ann Snake #1071. Jacob's traditional name is recorded as "Abidassige" meaning "Ever light" but that name, its context and meaning require scrutiny by those with expertise in the Anishinaabemowin language and Potawatomi culture.

In 1907 when Jacob Snake was age 10 he was living at Cape Croker Reservation, Ontario where he held full rights in Canada.
