Angele Belaney (born Egwuna), 1888 - 1955 Angele Belaney (born Egwuna) 1888 1955 Angele Belaney (born Egwuna) was born in 1888, to Louis Egwuna and Mary Egwuna (born Nedowageshic) . Angele had 2 sisters: Mary Quill (born Egwuna) and one other sibling .
Angele Egwuna an Ojibwa woman from Bear Island and the Mattawa Iroquois woman Gertrude Bernard later known as Ahanareo are linked irrevocably. They were the two women who helped make author, conservationist, lecturer and personality Archie Belaney what he became – Grey Owl "the best known author and lecturer of his day" in the 1930's.
When Archie left Angele, who he married in 1910, she turned to the bush for survival and was a remarkably capable bush woman and mother. She took their daughter Agnes with her hunting, trapping, fishing, selling berries and making crafts for sale. Agnes did not attend school but like her mother was a hard worker, intelligent and generous
They lived in a wigwam most of the time at Austin Bay in south Lake Temagami and at Bear Island when they were not itinerant. They eventually built their own small log house. Angele had a son Ben from a local relationship and later had Archie's daughter Flora all of whom she raised with care.
Angele was married to Willie Turner for the eleven years prior to her death in 1955. She received a regular portion of Grey Owl's estate that later went to Agnes. Agnes married Romeo Lalonde and had four children and many grandchildren. Now 67 years after Grey Owl's death the family has expanded and prospered – a living memorial to Archie Belaney.
