George Copway (1818 – June 27, 1869) was a Mississaugas Ojibwa writer, ethnographer, Methodist missionary, lecturer, and advocate of indigenous peoples. His Ojibwa name was Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bowh (Gaagigegaabaw in the Fiero orthography), meaning "He Who Stands Forever". In 1847 he published a memoir about his life and time as a missionary. This work made him Canada's first literary celebrity in the United States. In 1851 he published The Traditional History and Characteristic Sketches of The Ojibway Nation, the first published history of the Ojibwa in English.

Juni 1869 in Ypsilanti, Michigan) war ein indianisch-kanadischer Schriftsteller vom Stamm der Anishinabe. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bereiste er Europa. Nachdem Copway als offizieller Vertreter der christianisierten nordamerikanischen Ureinwohner auf dem internationalen Friedenskongress in Frankfurt a. M. gesprochen hatte, reiste er 1850 nach Düsseldorf, um sich hier mit Ferdinand Freiligrath zu treffen und um die Patenschaft für dessen Sohn Otto zu übernehmen. Bei dieser Gelegenheit porträtierte ihn der deutsch-amerikanische Maler Emanuel Leutze in seinem idealisierenden Bild Der letzte Mohikaner. (de)
