You may recall the February premiere of local filmmaker Sean Williamson’s Heavy Hands. (See, The Whitewater Premiere of Heavy Hands: Sunday, 2.10.13 @ 7 PM.) The film will soon reach a British audience, as it will be part of the Raindance film festival in London this Sunday, September 30th. Raindance, by the way, has premiered such films as What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and Cannibal the Musical as well as the UK premiers of Pulp Fiction, Memento, and The Pusher Trilogy. Best wishes for a successful showing.

On September 26, 1833, a tribal treaty gives land to the government:
1833 – Indian Treaty Cedes to Government
On this date Indian tribes including the Ojibwe, Menominee, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Ottawa, and Sauk ceded land to the government, including areas around Milwaukee, especially to the south and east of the city. The ceded land included much of what is today John Michael Kohler and Terry Andrae State Parks. The Potawatomi continued to live along the Black River until the 1870’s, despite the treaty.
