Their mother is a full blood Yancton." N.B.: This list was prepared by J. L. Sharp, and must date about 1857. It concerns the Half Breed Reservation located on the Nemaha rivers in southeastern Nebraska. Margie Sobotka in her "The Tepee and the Church" shows that Jean (sic) B. Fleury was married to Margaret Freniere on Dec. 29, 1850 at The Nishnabotna by Father Christian Hoecken, S.J. "The Nishnabotna" refers to that strip of country along the Missouri stretching from present Peru, Nebraska up to Pecival, Iowa. IT DOES NOT REFER TO THE "Nishnabotna river" itself! --W.F.
