Legacy and intermarriages
Unlike other Native American Chiefs before him, Straight Tail did not discourage interracial marriage. He encouraged a good relationship with the Europeans. His daughter, Sewatha, married a prominent French trader, Martin Chartier, who explored the Great Lakes region of America with Rene-Robert de la Salle. Other children and their descendants also married whites. His grandson was Peter Chartier, who was active in opposition to the British in the French and Indian War.
Because of these marriages, many of his modern-day descendants include people that have Caucasian features.
