    • Name Charles CHARTIER 


      • In an affidavit in the County of Morrison (State of Minnesota) dated 21 Dec. 1889 Charles Chartier swore that “he is a mixed blood of the Chippewa tribes of the State of Minnesota. That as he is informed and believes, his Grandmother was a full blood Chippewa Indian woman; that her daughter, affiants, mother married a man by his name., Charles Chartier. That before her marriage her name was Margaret Grant, the daughter of J. B. Grant, a trader among the Indians. “Later on in this affidavit Charles states that he himself, this affiant, is one-half Chippewa blood, his father as well as his mother being each half blood Chippewa Indians.” The problem with this statement is that there is no proof that Charles’ father was a 1/2 breed. Charles Chartier was also known as Sha-tay-ke-wainze which probably was a name given to him by Indians. Even though Charles was born in Wisconsin, it seems that he and his brother “lived with his father and squaw mother near Winnipeg, Canada; that the father took said Charles CHARTIER and brother with him to Canada.” After Charles and his brother were baptized, they must have returned to the west because it seems a child was born to Charles Chartier and a Sautich woman. However, Charles is found in Quebec in 1853. Madison Overmoen determined that this family left Quebec in late 1853 or 1854. They may have moved to Bourbonnais, Ill, and stayed there approximately one year; then traveling by ox cart to Belle Prairie, Minn. Charles Chartier’s obituary indicates that the family “removed from Illinois” to Belle Prairie in 1852”. According to the Naturalization Index “Charles Chartier arrived in Minnesota 10th Sept 1854.” The date of the documentation is October 1869.
