Who is Jack Fiddler?

Jack Fiddler, also known as Zhauwuno-geezhigo-gaubow and as Maisaninnine or Mesnawetheno was an ogimaa of the Sucker doodem among the Anishinaabe in what is now northwestern Ontario. His arrest in 1906 for the alleged murder of a wendigo and his suicide before trial marked the beginning of the imposition of Canadian law on the Sucker People. Until then, Fiddler's people had been among the last aboriginal peoples living in North America completely under their own law and custom.
