Biography

  • SīkÙkwayān was born in 1790.
  • Poundmaker was born in Rupert's Land, near present-day Battleford; the child of Sikakwayan, an Assiniboine medicine man, and a mixed-blood Cree woman, the sister of Chief Mistawasis. Following the death of his parents, Poundmaker, his brother (Yellow Mud Blanket), and his younger sister, were all raised by their mother's Cree community, led by Chief Wuttunee, later known as the Red Pheasant Band

Hi Darrell

The LNAB for this profile will need to be changed. I think that Assiniboine would be the most appropriate, as that is the identified nation he was born into. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Naming_Convention_for_First_Peoples_of_Canada
