}} Vestana Cadue ''(Kickapoo name: Pam-o-thah-ah-quah)'' (January 31, 1901 – 22 June 1974) was the first female chairperson of the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas. She was elected just months prior to the passage of House Concurrent Resolution 108 calling for the termination of her tribe. She led the tribal effort to successfully defeat enactment of a termination bill on the Kansas Kickapoo. ==Early life== Vestana Masquat ''(Kickapoo name: Pam-o-thah-ah-quah)'' was born on January 31, 1901〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J15R-2JX )〕 on the Kickapoo Reservation west of Horton, Brown County, Kansas to Eugene ''(Kickapoo name: No-kah-waht)'' Masquat〔 (July, 1876–1918)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=2472036&GRid=100184160& )〕 and Ella (Herrick )〔 Dupuis ''(Sac & Fox name: Wah pah qua o ke mah a quah)'' (October,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kansasindians/Kickapoo/Kickapoo.html#1891Kansas_Kickapoo_Roll )〕 1869 – December, 1963) The family legend is that Vestana was a great-great-great granddaughter of Joseph Robidoux IV, founder of St. Joseph, Missouri. It was noted in her obituary that she was one of "50 descendants seeking a portion of the Robidoux estate left from the sale of the former St. Joe's "market area".〔 It would appear that this suit concluded in 1978 with no award to the heirs of Robidoux. Siblings: Louis Dupuis ''(Sac & Fox name: Pan-e-kah-sheck)''〔 (6 April,〔 1888〔 - 8 February 1922); Levi Dupuis ''(Sac & Fox)''〔 (10 July,〔 1889〔〔 - 10 October 1956);〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSsr=481&GScid=1991660&GRid=80915670&CScn=Hillside+Mission+Cemetery&CScntry=4&CSst=38&CScnty=2199& )〕 Thomas Masquat ''(Kickapoo name: No-No-Pa)'' (1 October, 1898〔 - 11 September 1920); Rachel Masquat Delacruz〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.org/stream/indiancensusroll395unit#page/n154/mode/1up )〕 ''(Kickapoo)'' (1903);〔 Elsie Masquat〔 Allen〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=2472036&GRid=100183828& )〕 ''(Sac & Fox)''〔 (1905–1948);〔 Melinda Marie Masquat Segoviano〔 ''(Kickapoo name: Pe-tha-Koh-tha-quah)'' (24 October 1906 – 22 August 1988);〔 Robert Eugene Masquat ''(Kickapoo)'' (1909 – 25 July 1970);〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=2472036&GRid=100184149& )〕 and Johnathan〔 Howard Cifford Masquat ''(Kickapoo)'' (27 September 1912 – 25 November 1993). She and her siblings were taken by government agents to attend the Genoa Indian Industrial School in Genoa, Nebraska.〔〔 The school was run like a military regiment, with students formed into companies of captains and lieutenants. They drilled and marched in the parade grounds, woke to "Reveille," and followed U.S. Infantry Drill Regulations. Emphasis at the school was on industrial and vocational training. While reading, writing, and arithmetic were deemed essential, other education was not considered necessary for Indian children and the school only provided ten grades. To receive a high school equivalent, students had to request a transfer to Carlisle or Haskell Institute, which was not often granted by the administration or Indian agents. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vestana Cadue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
