“Our Matriarch”

Mom was born and raised on Tootinaowaziibeeng First Nation. She was the oldest child of Joseph and Elizabeth Shingoose.

In 1961, she married Joseph Ironstand. They remained mostly in Tootinaowaziibeeng First Nation until 1984, when they moved their family to Yorkton, SK. This remained their home until they both went on their journey to the spirit world. Some of her favorite things to do were play bingo, slots and kick butt at Gin Rummy and Cribbage. She was always teasing the ones she was close to with her swear words. Many called her “that crazy old lady”.
