Jon, along time ago way before the law suit we were searching our family and found where Wakuta ( d. 1858) and Wabasha were brothers. So it would have been the ones in the early years.

sisco:I would like to see some documentation for your allegtion that Wabashaw and Redwing were brothers. I have the citation that Redwing and Wabasha 1 were brothers from the book-The Chiefs Wabasha by Mark Dietrich...Page 18 states: Carvers visit to the Dakotas 1766-67 "Two leading dakotas made their marks on a land grant for Carver (1766-67). The territory ran east of the Mississippi river from the St. Anthony Falls south to the Chippewa river; Carver gave the names of the two men as 'The Great Father of the Snakes'(Nadouessieux) and 'Swift Runner over the Mountain'; These men were also referred to as the 'Snake' and the "Tortoise'. Wapahasha II said that the signers were his father and uncle and Redwing said the two men were his uncles." References are: 1. The Journals of Johnathan Carver and related documents 1766-1770 (St Paul: The Minnesota Historical Society Press 1976 2. Knells Register (washington) Feb 26, 1825 3. Kinsman of Another Kind-Gary Clayton Anderson 1984 JON
