Hello, I'm looking for documentation and/or information regarding my g-g-g-grandmother. She went by Winyan Ohitika and then Tipigiwin. She was born circa 1853. Supposedly, her tribe sold her to a white man named John Bernard Mulhern, who married her in the white man's church. Her English married name was Mary Louise or Maggie Mulhern. I would like to find out what tribe she originated from. We believe, but not sure, that her mother's name was Good Buffalo Calf. We know that her father was killed in the Killsdeer Mountain battle, but we do not know his name. We also had heard that she rode with Inkpaduta's band. She was registered at Standing Rock. She died on March 1, 1937 at the age of 81. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ;D

Oh this is an easy
Maggie Mulhern lived with the Ihunktonais, the background of the people are Ihunktonwan, Hunkpatina, Cuthead and Sisseton.
There were a few people who came into the Yanktonais camps
with Inkpaduta. At the time of the Whitestone Massacres we had
people from Inkpaduta there. All of her relatives now live in Cannon Ball and of course her children are related to alot of people here on the rock, including my granddaughter.

We did not sell women. It never happened a man came before the family and offered a dowery for a bride as many other cultures do. John Mulhern was well liked in Cannon Ball ND where he has a bakery. The Ihunktonais are from the northern side of Staninf Rock where the Muherns resided. She is from the village there |

Thank you so much for this information. Do you happen to know what her parents' names were?

My mother was so excited to hear this information. She wanted me to ask you if you know anything about Joseph Huff and Eleanor (Mulhern) Huff and their daughter, Mildred Huff, who was born on July 4, 1915. Mildred is my grandmothers who I never got a chance to know as she died circa 1955. Grandma Mildred married Francis Hunts-in-Winter (Winters) and I am my grandfather's name sake (Frances). Also, my mother heard that Maggie Mulhern's sister was Little Annie Conica; do you know if this is true or not? Again, thank you very much!  |
