| Abstract | In 1822 the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohicans were removed from their ancestral territories and ordered to travel westward across the Mississippi. One band refused to continue to Oklahoma and turned north, settling in Shawano County, Wisconsin. "Having abandoned the Mohican language for Yankee-accented English three full generations before the expulsion, the Stockbridge Band became the first English-speaking community to settle in the state." Later the Stockbridge Mohicans converted to German Lutheranism. In 1907 Louisa Mielke, whose family emigrated from Saxony, married John Tousey, a Stockbridge Mohican. The article discusses the difficulties the couple encountered from both their families. |
