Chief White Plume's Tobacco Pouch Papoose Carrier used by Julie Gonville, one of his daughters
Meach-o-shin-gaw (Little White Bear), one of the seven
principal Kansa chiefs in the 1820's and
1830's. The

me by my sister in law, Carolyn Pappan-Walkabout,
that the above picture was a younger
brother of Chief White Plume.
