On June 27, 1868, Hole in the Day (Bagone-giizhig) left Crow Wing, MN for Washington, DC, to fight the planned removal of the Mississippi Ojibwe to a reservation at White Earth. Several miles from his home, the self-styled leader of all the Ojibwe was stopped by at least twelve Ojibwe men and fatally shot. Hole in the Day’s death was national news, and rumors of its cause were many. The murder remains unsolved.
