>>Has it ever been fictionalized in a novel?<<

I doubt it. I got it from...

"History of the Ojibway People" by William W. Warren
amazon.com

This is the definitive book about the Ojibway. Warren was a mixed-blood Objibway, born in 1825 at the trading post of LaPointe (now known as Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior). He accumulated a great deal of oral tradition straight from the old Ojibway warriors.

As a youngster I sometimes vacationed at Little Boy Lake in Minnesota. Years later I read this book and discovered the lake got its name because the Lakota killed an Ojibway child there during this grand tour.

The author lived on the upper Mississippi near Saint Cloud, but died an early death from TB. Thirty years later one of my great-grandfathers homesteaded a few miles away.
