This is from Indian Census in 1888. Thomas Quinn and Jennie Skyman(Cloudman) are gggrandparents. I think Totowin means "Blue Eyes" but what does Iganganheca mean? I am spelling it as I see it but maybe it is spelled differently. Thanks for any and all help with this translation.

"Iganganheca" is actually "Iǧą́ǧąheča" = "slender". "Blue eyes" would be "Ištá Tȟótȟo". "Tȟotȟó Wį́" = "Blue Woman".

According to Riggs dictionary Page 184: Iganganheca is a kind of swamp grass. The 'g" is guttural, "n" is nasal.
