Wasson

Wasson (c. 1730 – c. 1790s) was an Ojibwa chief during the siege of Fort Detroit in Pontiac's War.

Wasson led around 200 warriors, who joined Pontiac's forces on May 31, 1763, remaining as part of the siege until it was abandoned in the autumn. On July 4, 1763, Wasson killed captive Captain Donald Campbell, in revenge for the death of his nephew.

From the following year until at least 1776, Wasson participated in a series of peace conferences, and was the primary native speaker at John Bradstreet's peace conference in September 1764. An Ojibwa chief of the same name was also involved in negotiations over land in 1790, but it is not certain whether this was the same person.

    Calymmian: Lake Disappointment

    by: Ocean

    What have you done with me?
    You ruined everything
    and you don't even see
    I still can't believe this is real
    My mind plays tricks on me
    Please wake me up and say it was just a bad dream
    I can't talk
    I can't think
    I feel dead
    All I see is red
    I am sick
    I can't get up
    I see no way out
    I need drugs
    What have you done with me?
    You ruined everything
    I bet you don't even see
    I want peace
    Don't know where to start
    I don't wanna feel like this
    I'll cut out this heart
    Feed it to the pigs
