A green rectangular interpretive sign is mounted on two dark posts in a grassy area. The sign has several paragraphs of text, a small black-and-white portrait of a person in traditional clothing, and a QR code in the lower right corner. Sunlight casts shadows across the ground and sign.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

HISTORICAL DRIVING TOUR - CHIEF PEaine Welcome to the Peaine Township Hall, administrative office for Peaine Township named in honor of Chief Peaine. The Township consists of 73.1 square miles of which 52.4 square miles are land and 20.7 square miles are water. Ottawa and Ojibewa Native Americans originally settled in this area, followed by some Irish immigrants and then Mormons (in 1847-1856). The Mormons revered Native Americans, believing they were a lost tribe from Israel. In 1851, Anthony O'Donnell, who worked on the Beaver Head Lighthouse construction project, noticed how Beaver Island mirrored Ireland in appearance and character. Anthony informed his relatives and friends in Ireland and thus a portion of the Irish exodus resulted in this Island's gain in Irish immigrants. Payzhickwaywedong was orphaned as a young child, and in 1842 was baptized, Pierre Payzhickwaywedong. The Native Americans of Beaver Island believed him to be special, that he would someday be a leader to their people. Native language does not have the "r" sound, so they pronounced his first name Peaine (Pe-ahn). Non-Native Islanders called him Chief Peaine. Payzhickwaywedong signed the Treaty of 1855 for the Beaver Island Natives. He died in 1867. In 1894, the Township was renamed Peaine in honor of the chief. [Small text beneath portrait appears to read: Pierre Peaine Chief of the Beaver Island Natives.]
Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue record identifies this as a photograph posted by the Beaver Island Historical Society to its Facebook page on November 8, 2021. The record's machine-generated description incorrectly describes the image as a black-and-white portrait rather than an outdoor photograph of an interpretive sign.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The heading and the small caption beneath the portrait are partly blurred. Fine print along the bottom of the sign is not fully legible.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
