Title

Mary Robidoux, wife of Chief Mahaska the Younger (1810-1852), a.k.a. Frances White Cloud, Ioway Nation; Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

This is a picture taken of Mary Robidoux, who was the wife of Ioway Native-American Nation Chief Mahaska the Younger, also known to the white man as Frances White Cloud. She was not fully Native-American, as she had some French ancestry, so when she and Mahaska the Younger had James White Cloud, the Ioway bloodline changed forever, as it would never again retain 100% Ioway purity.
