About Mina Waucaush

Mrs. Mina Waucaush is #566 on the 1907 Wooster Roll. She is recorded as the sister of John Cloud #475. No traditional name is recorded. In 1907 when Mrs. Mina Waucaush was age 50 she was living at Muncey, Ontario. Muncey is a community where there could be intermarriage of First Nations people of different nations. Three reserves are close to one another. The first is the Munsee Delaware Nation, a small Lenape First Nation whose history is outlined at http://www.munseedelawarenation.org/history/ . The second is a small group of assimilated/Christian Oneidas who relocated to Southwold, Ontario, Canada from New York state in the 1840s. The third and largest is Chippewas of the Thames First Nation whose website describes their "political alliances with the Odawa (Ottawa) and Bodaywadami (Pottawatomi) who together form the Three Fires Confederacy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chippewas_of_the_Thames_First_Nation#... .

In addition Muncey is associated with the notorious Mount Elgin Indian Residential School, Muncey Town, Ont., from 1851 to 1862 and 1867 to 1946. See http://thechildrenremembered.ca/school-locations/mount-elgin/

Mina Waucaush is listed in the 1907 Wooster Roll as having full rights in Canada.
