it was that the authors ancestors, coming from a variety of countries and
creeds and at different times, met in the northwest corner of Ohio
and how it was that finally this movement across time and space would bring two
people from widely differing backgrounds, her parents, together.
Before northwest Ohio was
officially opened to settlement by non-Indians, the authors paternal ancestors
moved onto these lands, which in 1817 had been legally set aside as a
reservation in perpetuity for the Shawnee Indian Tribe. As time passed, these
settlers worked out satisfactory lives with their Indian neighbors and friends
until the Shawnee were forcibly
removed to Kansas in 1832.
The authors maternal ancestors
Ohio would soon be populated by small towns and villages and
cleared landscapes dotted by tidy farms. Slowly and regrettably, memories of
the Shawnee and other tribes who
had once inhabited this land faded as all thoughts were focused on the future.
Maps and photos and a
comprehensive Pedigree Chart, which traces the Kunz/Lause
ancestry from its earliest known date in America
in 1640 to the marriage of Viola Lause and Frederick
Kunz in 1929, accompany the books narrative.
The books index contains 31 surnames related to this bloodline.
Born, reared and educated in the Midwest,
the author always felt a strong pull to the West and its native peoples.
Perhaps this curiosity came from the Indian name given to her by her father or
her family’s stories about the Indians who had once lived on the land claimed
by her ancestors. Whatever the reasons, Winona Garmhausen
moved to the Southwest in 1972 and devoted the next twenty-seven years to
working with and for native American peoples.
Her Southwestern Indian friends
nudged her toward seeking out the Native Americans whose memories and artifacts
she had grown up with in the northwest corner of Ohio. During this personal journey, Winona
found her ancestors and the Shawnee Indians who had lived side by side as
neighbors and friends.
