My GGGranfather's name was Thomas Robinson. His parents were Dennis Robinson & Mahpiyataninwin. Does someone know what the spelling means? I talked to a lady in Flandreau about a year ago & she said it meant cloud but would get back to me. She is now deceased. Thank you.

Yes, Mahpiya means cloud, but according to the Dakota-English Dictionary by Riggs, Mahpiyatanin means "northern lights, aurora borealis". Win means "woman".
