From the foregoing citations and let
ters, there can be no question but that
the "suuaw" mentioned with the Win
nebagO party at Washington in 1873
was White Crows daughter, the I'm
dian Princess" who subsequently be-
came known as the washington
Woman" yellow Thunder's Squaw,"
and Mrs. Thunder" John IT. De La
ROnde says in his personal narrative
written about 1870, and published in
Wis. Hist Coils, VOL 7, p. 346:
"I came to the Portage
in Wisconsin, now called Portage City,
the twenty-ninth of May, 1928
= Pierre Pauquette and his family lived
there. PauQuette was in charge Of the
post. He was then absent at Wash
ington to assist in making treaty be-
tween the government and the Winnie
bago Indians. John Kinzie, the sub
sequent Judge Doty, Cha-ge-ka-ka, the
son of -chip-ka-ka, or the War Ea-
gle, and Black VOLTS son Dandy,
called the Little Soldier, Yellow Tun-
der and his wife, and some others went
with him."
Mrs. Kinzie speaks of the Yellow
Thunder's squaw, as the Washington
Woman"
among the women with whom l
early made acquaintance was the wife
of Wau-kaun-Zee-kah, the Yellow
Thunder. She has accompanied her
husband and who was one of the depu-
taton to visit the President and from
that time forth she had been known
as the Washington Woman. ''-Wau-
bun, p. 103.
White Crows daughter probably be-
came Yellow Thunder's squaw shortly
after the Washington trip. De La
Ronde and Mrs. Kinzie speak Of her
as Yellow Thunder's squaw, but 1t does
not necessarily follow that she was
Mrs. Yellow Thunder at the time OF
the Washington trip. Mr.. Thunder
probably took advantage Of this occa-
sion to get acquainted with the "Prin-
cess"
We are indebpted to Mrs Kinzie for
this interesting character sketch OF

Among the women with whom /

of Wau-kaun-zee-kah, the Yellow
Thunder. She had accompanied her
husband, who was one of the deputa-
ton to visit the President and from

"She had a pleasant, old-acquaint'
ance, sort Of air in greeting me, as
much as to say, You and have seen
something of the world
mo expression of admiration or sur
prise escaped her lips as her compan-
ions, with childlike, laughing simple
ity, exclaimed and clapped their hands
at the different wonderful objects
shown them. Her department said
plainly, Yes, yes, my children, have
seen all these things before
