MITW history - Chief Kinepoway
Menominee Indian Chief Kinepoway Auhkanah'pah'waew or "Earth Standing", was a band leader living at Prairie du Chein and after 1844 at Lake Poygan. Shortly after the Reservation was occupied he moved his band to the present West Branch settlement. The official name for West Branch was originally "Kinepoway Settlement".

He went to Washington, DC, with this father's delegation in 1827.

He signed the 1831, 1848, and 1854 Treaties.
