content: Born 1837. Delegate and councilman, Oto and Missouri tribes, 1891. Civil War veteran. Home: Oto and Missouri Reservation, Oklahoma. ; Levi Bloyd, Vice President, Jefferson County Historical Society, Fairbury, Nebraska writes (November 19, 1955): "...Whitewater was a murderer under the whiteman's law, but under his own peoples law he surely wasn't considered such. He murdered two white men here in the early 1870s while they were still on the reservation here. He served quite a stretch in the [Nebraska] prison and was pardoned July 4, 1889. The chiefs whom I ask you for pictures [Medicine Horse], Little Pipe, Baptiste Deroin] made a trip to Fairbury to keep peace with the white people while they were also trying to find Whitewater to turn him over to the whiteman's law."
