The Lake Superior Chippewa chiefs, en route for Washington, under charge of Agent Webb, during their stop in Chicago, had a "talk" with the rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas. A motley crowd gathered around them, when Naw-gaw nab, doubtless thinking the rebels were "gone-ers," addressed them as follows: "You have been fighting against our Government. Why do you do this? Has not your Great Father given you everything you asked him for? He gives to the pale faces and the Indians plenty to eat, and good clothes to wear. He makes good laws for the best government of all. He makes the laws for the many-for all his people, not to suit a few. You have been fighting to break up this Government, like the bloody Sioux. It is better that you stop fighting, and lay down your arms, and with your honest thoughts about your country, you know you are wrong. If you feel as if you must fight, then come and join the United States army and fight for them. Look at your clothes, and then look at ours. Our Great Father feeds and clothes his men well; and the reason you are so hungry and cold is because you are fighting against us. Think what I tell you, and stop making war against the Government." The Chief was listened to with marked attention by the more intelligent and reflecting, but of course brought a derisive laugh from others who could not appreciate the force of his arguments.; Title derived from image caption.; "The Foremost Sitter" variant personal names: Naa-gar-nep, Na-gan-nab, Nagonub, Naw Gaw Nab, Naw-gaw-nub, Niganub, Niganubi.; "Ojibwa Indians" variant names: Anishinaabe, Chippewa Indians, Ojibwe Indians.
