Biographical History
Chippewa chief and Christian missionary. Indian name: Kah-ge-ga-gah-bowh.
George Copway was a Chippewa chief and missionary.
Ojibwa chief, Methodist missionary, and author.
Born in 1818 in Ontario and given the Indian name Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bowh, Copway was taught to read by an English missionary and converted to Methodism in 1830. From 1834 until his death, Copway was either engaged in missionary work among his people in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, or in lecturing, writing, and raising funds for the Indian cause. Copway wrote several books on the Indians, translated the gospel of Luke into Ojibwa, and proposed and argued for a new Indian territory for the tribes of the Old Northwest. He is presumed to have died in Michigan in 1863.

A journalist for a period in New York City, Copway published a newspaper, Copway's American Indian, from July 10 to Sept. 17, 1851, when insufficient funds caused its demise. Copway is presumed to have died in Michigan in 1863.
