Joanne Snowshoe

Categories: 
Elders' Biographies

Abraham and Lucy Vaneltsi’s daughter Joanne was born in Fort McPherson on July 7th, 1939. Though many of Joanne’s siblings died of tuberculosis, they were once eleven in their entirety. When asked about her family and  whether they were of the Wolf or Crow clan, Joanne remembers her grandmother telling her that they were Ichyaa (Wolf clan).
