Weesaw (c. 1785 – September 1836) was a war chief of the Potawatomi. He and his band were associated with the location that later came to be known as Gard's Prairie in Volinia Township, Michigan.[1] He was the son of Anaquiba. He was married to Sinegogua Topinabee, a daughter of Topinabee.[2] He was a signer of the 1821 Treaty of Chicago that ceded to the United States most of the Potawatami holdings in Michigan, with the exception of a small section of Berrien County and a square-mile tract adjacent to Niles, Michigan.[3]
Weesaw was described as tall, majestic, and fond of ornaments, such as a large silver amulet. He, Pokagon, and Shavehead were the principal sub-chiefs under Topinabee.[4]
