Kiwisance

Kiwisance (Cowessess) was a Cree/Sauteaux Chief that signed Treaty Four in 1874, though he did not take a reserve until 1878 after the Buffalo were gone. After being removed from the Cypress Hills Kiwisance settled in the Qu'Appelle Valley where his people excelled at agriculture. Throughout his life he supported the Canadian government, at one point resisting a call from Chief Piapot to meet over the Treaty promises made in 1874.

Kiwisance died in 1886, and was succeeded as chief by his rival Louis O' Soup.
