Title
Nan-Che Ninga (1797-1862), Advisor for Chief Mahaska (White Cloud) of the Ioway Nation; Mahaska County, Iowa
Description
This is a portrait of Nan-Che Ninga, principle advisor to Chief Mahaska (White Cloud) from the Ioway Native-American Nation. He lived from 1797 until 1862. He was a very important figure among the Ioway people, influencing Chief Mahaska's decisions relating to the well-being of his people. He no doubt played a significant role in Mahaska's decision to cede lands to the U.S. government in the early 1830's.
