Pottawattomie
Records kept on Metal Plates
7/25/2017 11:33:12 AM
Chief Shup-She of the Pottawattomie nation stated that most of the tribes in North America did the same (keeping records on metal plates). For example, the Ojibway tribe of indians in Wisconsin have a depository of records. This despository is located near Shawano, Wisconsin… These records are composed of copper and the writing is engraved on forty eight plates, engraving being on both sides of the plates. The writing is a pictorial writing but there are men in the tribe who know how to read it. The record begins with the arrival in Amercia of the ancestors of the Indians and comes on down to the present time. These Indians have the practice of writing the main events of their history while living in one place on one plate. Every time they move on to another section of the country, they write on another plate. Chief Shup-She claimed that the Indians in the northeastern part of the US wrote on lead plates.

It’s still very hard to tell why Joseph Smith did all those strange things. But at least if there is history of the Natives, it’s worth taking a look.

Memorial biography of Shup She other wise known as Howard Lyle LaHurreau. 1921-1992
Howard was recognized academically , professionally and spiritually as an outstanding Native American of Potawatomi descent. He was familiar with element of nine languages,
Potawatomi, Mississippian Trade Language, low German, Quebecos French, Spanish, English, Hebrew, Greek and Latin. He read Runes, Celtic and the Chinook Trade Language as well.
Origins https://csdt.rpi.edu/culture/anishinaabearcs/origins.html
According to tradition, spiritual beings called miigis established 6 clans of Anishinaabe, which became the 6 nations of Algonquin, Nipssing, Misissauges, Ojibwa, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The Ojibwa, Odawa, and Potawatomi later formed the Three Fires Confederation. Potawatomi elder Shup-Shewana, using old birch bark scrolls (“midewiwin”), dated the formation of the Council of Three Fires to 796 AD. In 1785, they joined the Western Confederacy (which included the Shawnee, Deleware, and others) to oppose settler land grabs. By 1795, they were defeated and forced to surrender land in the Treaty of Greenville. The US government then attempted to relocate tribes to the west of the Mississippi River.
After the Sandy Lake Tragedy (resulting in several hundred deaths) the US changed to the reservation system, but many communities were still uprooted. Some self-governance was returned in the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. Land struggles continue to this day. For example, in 1981, members of the Algonquin nation successfully blockaded a commercial rice-harvesting venture that was given federal permission to harvest the wild rice that the tribe has traditionally gathered by hand for centuries.
Today, technological innovation is an important tool for Anishinaabe resistance and revitalization. Mary Hermes, Professor at University of Minnesota, has developed multimedia tools to aid her Ojibwe language instruction program. Douglas Cardinal, of Algonquin/Metis heritage, pioneered the use of computers in architecture to bring Indigenous design to modern buildings. From the use of GIS for tracking wild rice at White Earth Tribal College, to the electronic dance music of A Tribe Called Red, hybrids of tradition and innovation are critical strategies for Anishinaabe cultural survival.

I recommend that if you want to look at the translation of the Pearl of Great Price, the books of Moses and Abraham look for the works that Hugh Nibley did on this book.
A video on this site may be of interest to you: http://www.bookofmormonevidence.org/video_gallery.php
2nd row from the bottom, the 2nd video from the left (#60 now): Linguistic Correlations to the Book of Mormon. The gentleman in the video comments that some of the “Caractors” bear a remarkable similarity to MicMac (Algonquin) characters and these Native Americans were in the New England area, even in upstate New York. Maybe JS knew of their symbols and copied them. Although, the gentleman states that a non-LDS researcher did identify the MicMac characters as an egyptian heiratic in the 1970s and even called them reformed Egyptian.
