Diana:
Hi Win, did a quick look see, went back 3 generations. All white. Her mother is from England in all censuses. So that a dead end. Her father is Canadian. Looked only at his relatives. They are all white and from Canada, Michigan, England and Prussia. I went as far back to 1830's.

WINative:
Hi Diana, I appreciate that and I seen a interview she did:
https://www.newspapers.com/article/traverse-city-record-eagle/22288664/

"Her mother, described as an English lady till-the day she died, spent her first nine years in England, She fell in love with Keewaydinoquay's father but, they weren't allowed to marry because her grandparents felt Indians and Christians shouldn't mix, Keewaydinoquay said.

Her father told his; parent "he was white on the top" Traverse City Record-Eagle of ancestral history including a-grandfather who was an Anglican priest, a mother who was Indian looking but learned to say "God save the Queen" in her first breath, and a grandfather who practiced the Indian Midewin religion."

It's kind of a strange claim, saying she was [Susun] Weed's adopted grandmother. She passed on 11 years ago, but seemingly Weed did not know that.

Diana:
I looked again at other relatives all white. Oh, and sorry her father is from Michigan  and the grandfather is from Canada. Looked the up in the Canadian census 1861 and 1851. All white. I'll do a little more in depth search tonight.
