Who was Maskipeton? He was a Cree, born around 1807. He became chief and led a Cree band that hunted south of today's Edmonton, but that also ranged into Saskatchewan and Montana. He traded into the Missouri River area. He was a warrior, respected by his people and feared by his enemies.
He may have been a traveler. A man called Maskipeton, or Broken Arm, accepted an invitation to go to Washington in 1831 to meet President Andrew Jackson. He had his portrait painted on the way in St. Louis.
