content: Irataba referred to as a chief of "high rank and great considerations", who was in town with Antonio Azul, and on the East coast (including Washington, D. C.) in 1864; in CIA Report for 1864; page 150 (Charles D. Posten, Agent).

"The death of Ireteba last spring, who was their chief for 20 years, is much deplored, as he was the most sagacious of the tribe, and a great assistance in my plans of improvement of his people." (J. A. Tonner, Indian Agent, September 25, 1874, in Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, 1874, page 19.)
