Help us find and improve next week's Connection Finder profiles: Notable Native Americans [closed]

1.3k views

Sitting Bull has been in the news lately with the recent revelation of a grandson's DNA, so we're featuring him this week in the Connection Finder.

We're looking for other notable Native Americans to feature with him.

Here's who we're getting started on:

Can you help with these profiles, or expand their families? Adding relatives in any direction helps with connections. Every missing relative you add will make our connections to them closer.

Who else should we feature? Do they need a profile?

All profiles we feature need a good biography and a connection to the big tree. We also want each one to have an image, and the image needs to have proper source attribution explaining why it's in the public domain or why we have the right to display it.

We can't feature everyone mentioned (we only have room for eleven per week), but if we don't feature a profile you work on, we may use it sometime in the future. And, of course, all contributions help improve our shared tree.

We'll make a final decision on which ones to feature early next week.

Please reply here with what you're working on so that we don't duplicate our efforts. Thank you!

To help us plan future themes, see the 2021 Example Profile Plans post here.

Is there a thread to start to suggest themes for 2022?
Hello Helen,

I planned on getting it up next week. It will be linked in next week's "help us improve..." post.
Coincidentally, here is a possibly relevant blog post re Indian treaties: https://www.legalgenealogist.com/2021/11/15/treatying-history/

Anyone who would like to work on these profiles is more than welcome to help.  Primary sources, or good secondary sources are needed for all.
by Kathie Forbes G2G6 Pilot (886k points)

It might be a good idea to ask Eowyn to get the NA project added as a manager on all of these candidate profiles, with project protection, since naming is so confusing for members. I don't think the recent LNAB change for Black Hawk is what the project was looking for.

I agree, Ellen. This could gather up some that had yet not been added to the Project for protection and oversight.
I can add that protection, too! I will add it to my to-do list for this week's nominees, in fact. I usually just make sure there are appropriate categories so those that weren't featured can still be looked at using MyConnections.
I would absolutely love too.

My DNA connects to all indigenous Nations,  so I should be able to help with this for sure!

siʔaɬ of the dxʷdəwʔabš & suq̓ʷabš is one I'd highly recommend. He has a bio & photo, but is not yet connected, so I will work on connecting him. Although his name has been horribly butchered, he remains a major figure in the history of my city named after him (Seattle).

by Thomas Koehnline G2G6 Pilot (104k points)
The bio looks like a lot of Native American profiles - copied from websites like Wikipedia with no primary or even contemporary sources.  It would be great if you could find some better sources.
You’re absolutely right, Kathie! I’ll try to get some work in, both on connecting & bio improvement, later today
Update: siʔaɬ has been connected; I'll keep working & try to update the bio a bit.

By the way, Abby or anyone else- is there a way to prevent the site from automatically capitalizing the Proper First Name field? The modern rendering of the Salishan languages doesn't use capital letters, & although it may not be the worst issue possible, it isn't exactly right for us to display siʔaɬ's name as "SiʔAɬ"
Just wanted to mention that siʔaɬ's profile has been greatly updated, with a full biography by our wonderful fellow WikiTreer Marta Johnson- she did a great job with it.
Thanks, Thomas. And unfortunately, no, it will automatically capitalize.

During some research I did a few years ago on my ancestor Dorsey Pentecost, I encountered some testimony given in 1775 in a meeting between colonists and Indians as quoted in "Revolution on the Upper Ohio."

The Indian was called "White Mingo" and noted as a "Six Nations Leader."  In a little on-line research, I've found him also called Connengayote and Canigaatt.  I have not found him on WikiTree, and do not have either the time or the expertise to create a profile, let alone connect it.  

At the risk of appearing naive and ignorant...among the issues I hadn't known much about before (and still don't) was that of slaves running away to join the Indians, and what happened when they did.  

Here is a quote from the testimony.  I think I transcribed this (the book is out of copyright):

"Brothers   listen to me   when we held a Council last Fall you desired us to deliver up your Flesh and Blood your Negroes your Horses and every thing that belonged to you...we Immediately Complied...when the Governor Demanded our Relations the White People he told us he only wanted them to go and see their relations and they should be at liberty if they did not like to stay with the white People to return to us...when I went home I Informed them that some of their white relations were desirous of seeing them and told them to go and see their Relations   they began to Cry and said they were not Slaves that they shou'd be forced away...when the Negro Woman made her Escape...and Came to our Towns on her being Demanded we delivered her   when we did this Captain Russell said he was a little Sorry to Ask so much but that the owner insisted upon having the two Children brought in...we Delivered the Negro Wench but told him as the Children were Bagat by our People we thought it very hard they shou'd be made Slaves of...we have Delivered up all your Horses and all your Negroes Except One Negro Man who run-away from the Mouth of Hockhockan Who threatens to kill either White Man or Indian who shall Attempt to Molest him.

 "Brothers   I now Inform you we have delivered up all we possibly can...what white People remain among us are their own Masters and may do as they Please...'tis true our Manner of living is not like the white Peoples we suppose that is the reason why their friends are Unwilling they shou'd live Among us"

Edit was minor formatting for consistency and later to fix typo.

Joseph Medicine Crow (1913-2016) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree needs connecting

and Francis Pegahmagabow (1889-1952) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree and he has a family search tree,  see CSM Francis Pegahmagabow MM (1891–1952), Eva Mary Tronch Tonch (1903–1979) | Landscape View | Family Tree | FamilySearch but I do not know how accurate it is see regarding Francis Pegahmagabow according to a tree on Family search this is one of his ancestors see Joseph-Daniel Gelineau (1733-) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree  for his son there is Joseph Gelino in entry for Etienne Gelino, "Canada, Quebec Births and Baptisms, 1662-1898" • FamilySearch however the names are not an exact match but what do others think is it good enough.

then if so the next step would be Josette Jolineau (1808–1891) | Person | Family Tree | FamilySearch but i am a little nervous with all these name changes.

Then she married Jean Baptiste Cantin (1800–Deceased) | Person | Family Tree | FamilySearch

and had a daughter Marion Contin (1851–Deceased) | Person | Family Tree | FamilySearch

who was the mother of Francis

do these look right  and finding better sources i have had not much luck. Even what happened to his mother has different stories one is that she died shortly after giving birth to Francis, another she did not. these are unsoruced stories I have heard.

Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce nation. (A Native American who I admire.) Profile is connected, has photo.

by Ellen Smith G2G Astronaut (1.5m points)

Yes, completely agree, and I heartily recommend him, too!  Nice profile, several photos of Joseph, including one with his family.  According to the National Park Service, Joseph's father, "Old Chief Joseph was a Nez Perce leader who refused to sell his Wallowa homeland and sign the 1863 Treaty [gold was discovered on their reservation, white prospectors poured in, and the U.S. government was taking back millions of acres from Joseph's people in the new treaty]. Before he died in 1871, Old Chief Joseph told his son to defend his homeland and people by saying, 'My son, never forget my dying words, this country holds your father's body. Never sell the bones of your father and mother.'"  Joseph tried hard to honor his father's dying words.  

I live a few hours from the place where Joseph's father is buried and have seen the beautiful place he called home.  

Thank you, Ellen.

I humbly suggest Chief Joseph Brant known as Thayendanega. He lived from 1743 to 1807.  Born close to what is now Akron, Ohio and died in Upper Canada.  He led the Mohawk nation and colonial volunteers against the American revolutionaries in New York in the American revolution.  He met both George Washington and George III.  As a result of the revolution, the Mohawks lost their lands in the USA.  In return, they were given the equivalent amount of land in what is now Canada.  His Georgian home can be seen on the waterfront in Burlington, Ontario. He is the sixth grandfather of my 3rd cousin once removed.

I strongly suggest Hocąk-1 - Glory of the Morning has hundreds, if not thousands of descendants in the Ho-Chunk/Winnebago tribes. Unfortunately, there is no known photo or painting.  (Sorry, I couldn't edit my previous answer.)
 

This is the bio that is on Wikitree:

"Wisconsin Historical Society: Ho-poe-kaw (Glory of the Morning) Last Known Female Ho-Chunk Chief: Ho-poe-kaw was chosen to lead her people around 1727, when she was 18... The following year she married Sabrevoir Descaris, a French officer who resigned his commission to become a fur trader.'" [1]

"Women's Wisconsin: from native matriarchies to the new millennium', by Genevieve G. McBride; Wisconsin Historical Society; 2006: 'In the 1700s, the last known woman chief of the Ho-Chunk was Ho-poe-kaw, or the Glory of the Morning of Wisconsin. The sister or daughter of a chief, she succeeded him as head of their largest village, east of Lake Winnebago—and she succeeded as a chief for decades despite devastating effects of diseases from explorers and warfare with other tribes forced westward. If women rarely were warriors, nevertheless war was women's story as well. Continued epidemics and economic instability as well as conflicts caused by explorers, traders, and settlers cost women their families, crops, lodges, villages, and even their lives. Ho-poe- kaw, however, stayed all her life in her homeland and stayed in power despite devastating personal losses. Ho-poe-kaw was not unusual among Native women in marrying a French Canadian in Wisconsin when the area was a colony of Nouvelle-France, or New France. Sabrevoir Descaris...'" [2]


 

"Access Genealogy - Indian History of Winneshiek County Iowa: 'Genealogy and History of the Decorah Family... Hopokoekau, or 'Glory of the Morning' also known as the Queen of the Winnebagoes, was the mother of a celebrated line of chiefs, all of whom, well known to border history, bore in some form the name Decorah. Her Indian name is also given as Wa-ho-po-e-kau. She was the daughter of one of the principal Winnebago chiefs. There is no record of the date of her birth or death. She became the wife of Sabrevoir De Carrie, who probably came to Wisconsin with the French army, in which he was an officer, in 1728. He resigned his commission in 1729, and became a fur-trader among the Winnebagoes, subsequently marrying “Glory of the Morning.” He was adopted into her clan and highly honored.

After seven or eight years, during which time two sons and a daughter were born to him, he left her, taking with him the daughter. The queen refused to go with her husband, and remained in her home with her two sons. “The result is to-day that one-half or two-thirds of the Winnebago tribe have more or less of the Decorah blood in their veins.”1 Through the intervening generations there has been no other mixture of Caucasian blood, so that the Decorahs of to-day are probably as nearly full-bloods as any Indians in any part of the country. De Carrie returned to Canada, re-entered the army, and was killed at Ste Foye in the spring of 1760. The daughter whom he took with him, became the wife of a trader, Constant Kerigoufili, whose son, Sieur Laurent Fily (so-called), died about 1846...'" [4]

"Our Debt to the Red Man: The French-Indians in the Development of the United States', by Louise Seymour Houghton; Stratford Company; 1918, p. 184: ' Angel De Cora Dietz, teacher of Indian Art at Carlisle, comes of a family long celebrated in Indian annals. Early in the eighteenth century (1729) a French officer, Sabrevoir De Carrie, married Wa-hopo-e-kan, a daughter of the principal chief of the Winnebagoes. Their son Chou-ke-ka, born in 1730, was known to the whites as Spoon De Kaury. He became hereditary chief of the tribe, and was always friendly with the whites, even when at war with other tribes. With Pierre Paquette, Lie Roy and other mixed-bloods, "noble old De Kaury," as Mrs. Kinzie calls him, helped to make the history of the Middle West by assisting the Government in treaties with the Indians. It was principally through his influence that the treaty of June 3, 1816 was negotiated, he being then long past eighty. He died that same year at Portage City. His wife, Flight-of-Geese, was daughter of the celebrated Winnebago chief Nawkaw (Walking Turtle). They left six sons and five daughters, whose blood runs in several well known metis families of Wisconsin and Minnesota — Grignon, Ecuyer, Le Roy and others. Their eldest son, Ko-noka, also called Scha-ship-ka-ka (War Eagle) was known in early Chicago as Old De Kaury or Greyheaded De Kaury. He was born in 1747, served in the British campaign against Sandusky in 1813 (says Mrs. Kinzie) signed the treaty of Prairie du Chien on behalf of the Winnebagoes in 1825, at Caledonia, the largest of the Winnebago villages, containing 100 lodges. Mrs. Kinzie says that he was believed to be 143 years old at his death. His son Cha-ge-ka-ka, or Little De Kaury, succeeded him as chief, but died within six months. He was the idol of the Indians but was very rebellious to the plan of government to remove the Winnebagoes to Nebraska. His younger brother Hopne-scha-ka (White Fiend) De Kaury succeeded in the chieftainship. [3]

"Wikipedia: 'Glory of the Morning... Glory of the Morning was the first woman ever described in the written history of Wisconsin,[1] and the only known female chief of the Hocąk (Winnebago) nation. At least one source has rendered her name as Hopokoekau, which is a corruption of Hąboguwįga, from hąp, "day"; ho-, "the time at which"; gu, "to come arriving"; -wį, an affix indicating the feminine gender; and -ga, a definite article used for personal names.[2] The name is conventionally translated as, "Glory of the Morning" or "The Coming Dawn." She was the daughter of the chief of the tribe,[3] and therefore a member of the Thunderbird Clan who lived in a large village on Doty Island in what is now Menasha. Sometime before 1730, the French—in connection with their development of the vast territory of Louisiana-- renewed contact with the tribe. A small force of French troops under the command of Sabrevoir De Carrie visited the Hocągara and established cordial relations. The opportunities of this contact impressed themselves upon De Carrie, who resigned his commission to become a fur trader among the tribe. It was around this time that he married Glory of the Morning. It cannot be established whether she was made chief before or after this marriage. Her marriage seems to have enhanced her status, as De Carrie is remembered very favorably in the Hocąk oral tradition, which says, "in his affairs he was most emphatically a leader of men...

Jonathan Carver, a Connecticut Yankee in the service of the Crown, paid a visit to her village in 1766, and gives an interesting account of her. On the 25th [of September] I left the Green Bay, and proceeded up Fox River, still in company with the traders and some Indians. On the 25th I arrived at the great town of the Winnebagoes, situated on a small island just as you enter the east end of Lake Winnebago. Here the queen who presided over this tribe instead of a Sachem, received me with great civility, and entertained me in a very distinguished manner, during the four days I continued with her. The day after my arrival I held a council with the chiefs, of whom I asked permission to pass through their country, in my way to more remote nations on business of importance. This was readily granted me, the request being esteemed by them as a great compliment paid to their tribe. The Queen sat in the council, but only asked a few questions, or gave some trifling directions in matters relative to the state; for women are never allowed to sit in their councils, except they happen to be invested with the supreme authority, and then it is not customary for them to make any formal speeches as the chiefs do. She was a very ancient woman, small in stature, and not much distinguished by her dress from several young women that attended her. These her attendants seemed greatly pleased whenever I showed any tokens of respect to their queen, particularly when I saluted her, which I frequently did to acquire her favour...

Having made some acceptable presents to the good old queen, and received her blessing, I left the town of the Winnebagoes on the 29th of September ...[8] Nothing is heard of her until the Kinzies visited her in 1832. She had lived to an unheard of age. Mrs. Kinzie paints a portrait of her:

'There was among their number, this year, one whom I had never before seen—the mother of the elder Day-kau-ray. No one could tell her age, but all agreed that she must have seen upwards of a hundred winters. Her eyes dimmed, and almost white with age—her face dark and withered, like a baked apple—her voice tremulous and feeble, except when raised in fury to reprove her graceless grandsons, who were fond of playing her all sorts of mischievous tricks, indicated the very great age she must have attained...'" [6]

"Indian Names on Wisconsin's Map', by Virgil J. Vogel; Univ of Wisconsin Press; 1991, p. 73: 'On Sept 25, 1766, Jonathan Carver, ascending the Fox River... arrived at Doty Island... reported, 'Here the Queen who resides over this Winnibago tribe instead of a sachem, received me with great civility, and entertained me in a very distinguished manner... we know her as Ho-po-koe-kaw, mistranslated as 'Glory of the Morning', a Winnebago woman who married the French officer Sabrevoie de Carrie and started the distinguished Decorah family... De Carrie was killed in battle against the British in Quebec, September 13, 1759, but his name, in the form Decorra, Decorah, Dekorra, etc., is still prominent among the Winnebago...'" [7]

Canadian actor Chief Dan George has a good profile and picture but is, unfortunately, unconnected.

Shawnee chief Tecumseh, like Joseph Brant, played a strong role on the British side in the War of 1812. He'd be a good candidate too; but, alas, I can't find a WikiTree profile for him at all! Maybe it's there somewhere with a more authentic spelling ... ?

And John Trudell. I'd suggest Leonard Peltier, but he's still alive, and I don't know that it would be ethical to create a profile for someone still alive without their permission.
Yes, John Trudell would be a good choice, too.  There ought to be a profile for Anna Mae Aquash, as well.
Re Leonard Peltier: our current guidelines for the Notables Project say that any living person with a Wikipedia article in more than three languages is fair game, which means Peltier would be applicable, but there may be other privacy concerns to take into account when working with living Native families specifically (for instance, blood quantum laws are still hotly disputed in some areas), & it's a little late to connect him by tomorrow.
Thanks, Jaki. We can only use WikiTree profiles, so if you find them or create them, let me know here.

I doubt very much if anyone could Connect Ishi anytime soon, let alone before tomorrow.

Yes, totally true, but his profile needs major work; it says very little about him, no pictures, and there is so much known. It was this post that gave me the idea to search and find that he did have a profile here. My mother had the book on him, which I read several times in my teens. Being Native American Heritage month, I thought I'd point it out. I have little spare time these days, and poor internet. I may try to work on it a little, but it could use some major input. He may not have been so notable to his own tribe, but he contributed a lot to white American understanding of the horrible attitude and actions that their culture had taken to destroy the peoples and cultures that predated them.

I "discovered" Ishi when I found The Last of His Tribe on youtube and looked him up via the movie's page on Wikipedia after watching it.

Thanks, Alison. It helps to share WikiTree links to profiles (thanks for Ishi's Melanie). If there isn't one, then a profile should be created in hopes we might be able to improve and connect the profile for use in the future. Great suggestions, though!
Melanie, that sounds awesome! I know that UC Berkeley did much filming of him. When I go somewhere with good internet, I will look that up and watch it on youtube.

Abby, sorry I'm enough of a computer nimcompoop to have copied and pasted the wrong bit. I thought I was getting the link. Thanks Melanie for doing it right.
There are a few videos available -- the movie, and at least one decent documentary, and a couple of compilations (I think).  

Ishi : The Last of His Kind - Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDy_w-bWD50

(This one I have not watched) The Man Who Hid from the Western World | Ishi the Last Yahi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlp1N-FvHcE

(This one I have not watched) Ishi Wilderness Survival, Plant Medicine & Archaeology documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dRaNqVvhwQ

--

It might be possible for someone dedicated (I am not that person) to watch the videos and take notes for his biography here.

Ishi was definitely a fascinating person, not just a case study, and I wish I felt qualified to tackle his life story.
I created a profile for Ethan Anderson. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Anderson-63977

If there is a Native American group that wishes to adopt it and improve it, that would be great. I am not Native American, and am not able to put a Native American perspective on it. I don't believe that stated anything in a derogatory or offensive manner, but if I did so, it was unwittingly and due to ignorance, so please forgive me and fix it.
