Description

This is a picture taken of Chief James White Cloud from the Ioway Native-American Nation. James was born in 1848 and was the son of Mahaska the Younger (a.k.a. Frances White Cloud) and Mary Robidoux. James was not a full-blooded Ioway Native-American, as his mother was part French. James did not get to know his father long, as Mahaska the Younger died when James was only four years old. James learned the customs of the Ioway Nation and eventually became Chief of the Ioway Nation. James lived long enough to teach his son and grandson the ways of his people. James White Cloud died in 1940.
