About Rebecca Ogisitchiwan Henry

Mrs. Rebecca Henry is # 796 on the 1907 Wooster Roll where she is identified as the head of household. Her husband's name is not recorded. Rebecca also is sister to brothers Noah Wahbezee # 795 and Elias Wahbezee # 800. Both of those brothers live in her home. Rebecca's traditional name is recorded as "Ogisitchiwan" meaning "Swift current" but that name, its context and meaning require scrutiny and comment by those with expertise in nuances of the Anishinaabemowin language and Potawatomi culture.

In 1907 when Mrs. Rebecca Henry was age 27 she was living at Saugeen Indian Reservation with her three young children and brothers Noah and Elias Wahbezee. She held full rights in Canada.
