---------------------------------------------------

The Heir of Alexander, a Kanien’kehá:ka Indian. Adopted by Red Bear during relocation and was principle signer of the 1863 Old Crossing Treaty as a member of Red Bear I Band. Her was married to Isabel Migizi, daughter of Mah Je Gwoz Aince who became Mother of Nations following his mothers death unifying the bloodline. Relocated to Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa where his grand daughter became Turtle Woman.

In 1863 Little Shell II, Red Bear I, Pierre Bottineau, and Joseph Montrieulle the Warrior of Pembina would sign the Old Crossing Treaty. This treaty ceded a shared portion between the Red Lake Pembina and the Little Shell Pembina that was east of the North Red River and West of the Red Lake area. Joseph was not only the grandson of Chippewa Chief Mamongazeda through his biological mother, but also became the adopted son of Red Bear I and the husband of Isabel Migizi the daughter of Margaret Clearsky and her marriage to Little Shell I cousin and Ohio Valley Chippewa Chief Pewanakum (signatory on the 1789 Treaty of Fort Harmar). Joseph is also named the “Heir of Alexander” as Alexander Henry’s interest in the trading network is left to him.

Considered the favorite adopted-son of Red Bear I (elder) Chief of The Chippewa Pierre Decoteau
