My great grandmothers family came from an Indian Reserve out of Alberta and moved to Iowa and then Northern Nebraska where my great-grandmother was born on a Souix Reservation. This is all I have so far as it is hard to get information on Indian families unless you get it handed down from stories. Sorry I am not much help.
