- Summary
- This collection includes the handwritten narrative "The Acts and Character of Nan bo Shoo" circa 1830s. The name "Nan bo Shoo" is a misspelling of the Potawatomi legendary hero "Nanabozho." Nanabozho is known by a number of names among the Anishinaabe tribes and his character and attributes vary among the stories from the different Native American communities. The narrative in this collection was likely written down by Col. Abel C. Pepper, an Indian agent in Indiana in the 1830s and great-grandfather of the donor of the narrative, Mrs. Gertrude P. Moore
- Biographical or historical data
- The Potawatomi people are Native Americans of the Algonquian language family. They originally resided on lands around the Great Lakes region, including what is now Northern Indiana. On September 4, 1838, the Potawatomi were forcibly removed from Indiana and taken to reservation land in Kansas. This removal is known as the Potawatomi Trail of Death.The Potawatomi had many folktales and traditional stories passed down from one generation to the next. Nanabozho (Nanabush) is a legendary hero in stories and is often portrayed as a trickster, but is never disrespectful of Native American culture.
