Okemos Village (f.1839)
Chief John Okemos (1775-1858)

Chief Okemos was a Pottawatomie and the nephew of Chief Pontiac, who besieged the British controlled Fort Detroit in 1763.

Okemos regularly set up shop in the village. When he passed, the settlers changed the name of their village in his honor.
A Michigan Historic Marker stating: "Native Americans led by Chief Okemos lived in this vicinity when white settlement began in 1839 with the arrival of Sanford Marsh and Freeman Bray. A post office named Sanford was established the following year. Bray founded the village of Hamilton in 1840, and he recorded the plat in 1851. In 1859 the state legislature renamed the village Okemos in honor of the Indian leader. By 1874 hotels and stores dotted the Detroit - Grand River plank road (present-day Hamilton Road), and sawmills, gristmills, and planing mills operated at the site of present-day Ferguson and Wonch Parks off of State Road (now Okemos Road). Okemos gradually developed into a trade center for agricultural activity in the area. In 1923 Grand River Road became a state trunk line and was rerouted north of its original location." A Michigan Historical Marker stating: "Okemos was born in Shiawassee County around 1775. He distinguished himself at the Battle of Sandusky during the War of 1812 and won the respect of the Saginaw Chippewa people. Chief Okemos later signed several treaties on behalf of the Chippewa, including the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. During the 1830s and 1840s Okemos led a band of Indians, most likely Chippewa, Ottawa, Potawatomi people, who lived south of here along the Red Cedar River. The band traded with white settlers in the area, including Freeman Bray, who founded the village of Hamilton in 1840. By 1850 the band had dispersed as some were forced by the U.S. government to live on reservations. Chief Okemos eventually relocated to Shimnicon, an Indian settlement in Ionia County. He died near DeWitt in 1858." Chief John Okemos in his old age A newspaper clip declaring his passing

DOGE allegedly has closed a nonexistent SSA office in Okemos, MI to save less than $100K/year. So, it appears Tr*** is going after "That Woman from Michigan." Hope all those fools who voted for him are satisfied. 🤬

They closed our Social Security office in Okemos. It's closed. Not fake news.

Beginning to wonder how much not following the lore will impact enjoying the Gorillaz tour. Not a joke, I went to a Lord Huron show and was completely lost, and I didn't even know they had lore. They're from Okemos.

DOGE has also canceled leases for ten Social Security offices, a vast majority of which are in states Trump carried. Really screwing over Trump’s own voters.

$50 says that the reason the coach has this girl sparring with a wrestler way out of her weight class, who'd already injured another wrestler during sparring, was because he didn't want a girl on the team and was trying to scare her into quitting.

Few education investments move the needle like universal school lunches:

✅ attendance goes up
✅ achievement goes up
✅ local grocery prices go down

Forcing districts to cut meals simply fails kids and families.
