Kakaygeesick, also known as Everlasting Sky, was given a land grant in 1905 through an executive order signed by then President Theodore Roosevelt. Everlasting Sky is said to have lived to the age of 124. When he died in 1968, he was a well-known symbol of the Ojibwe people, but was never recognized as an Ojibwe by the federal government.
