Margaret Utinwasis is the older sister of Techomehgood Ah-Dik Songab Okicheta Bottineau

Marguerite Utinawasis Songab Okivhita, Techomehgood Ah-Dik Songab Okicheta Bottineau, and Techomehgood Ah-Dik Songab Okicheta Bottineau were the matriarchs of The Dakota Nation, The O'Jibway Nation, and The Cree Iron Confederacy as the family of Chief Delonaise Atetaŋkawamduška Wáȟpe Šá and King of the Loons Mamaangĕzide. His stepbrother Red Bear Miscomaquah, https://www.geni.com/people/Chief-Noka-Nokay-Kadwabida-Broken-Tooth... and Chief Alexis Bobtail Piche skinned the white men who abused them. A man Charles Chartier once took their money and sold them. Briefly, this incited Chief Kaŋgidaŋ Mdokečiŋhaŋ, Little Crow I to start a war to rescue them. Modern history has ignored the story of the family of the three Starwoman sisters manipulated by greedy European businessmen to obtain access to their trading routes including The NW Trading Company, XY Trading Company, and Hudson Bay Trading Company.

Around 1789 Cuthbert married Margaret UTINWASIS a woman of the Qu’Appelle district, the daughter of a white trader and a Cree or Assiniboine woman. This trader may have been French, for some of his children were associated with the Métis community at Red River (DCBO). Around 1790 daughter Marguerite was born at Qu’Appelle. By 1792 they had two more children, James and Josephte. Note: very little is truly known about Cuthbert’s wife or wives; when or where they were born and died. Some sources indicate that he had a wife named SONGAB. Songab was most likely the wife if Peter Grant, not Cuthbert Grant Sr. Margaret Utinwasis is the older sister of Techomehgood Ah-Dik Songab Okicheta Bottineau
