Kade Michael Ferris (January 25, 1969 – November 4, 2023), also known as Giniw Wiidokaage,[3] was a Native American anthropologist, Indigenous historian, and blogger based in Minnesota.[5][6][1]
A citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota[4] and a historian of the Ojibwe and Métis,[3] he worked for the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians as an archaeologist.[5][7] He served as the tribal historic preservation officer for the Red Lake Chippewa and the Turtle Mountain Chippewa.[3] He was known for his accurate colorizations of historical Native American photographs and for using geographical technologies to decolonize maps and tell Indigenous histories.
He was the author of several books on the Ojibwe, Cree, and Métis people.[5] His book, Charles Albert Bender: National Hall of Fame Pitcher (2020), a biography of Chief Bender written for middle school readers, was highly recommended by Native American children's literature specialist Jean Mendoza as one of the best books in 2020.[5][8] That book and his use of oral traditions are included in state-mandated educational standards in North Dakota and Minnesota as reliable sources for teachers.
