Summary
Kainwaybekis is named in the third-class schedule attached to the 1836 Treaty of Washington as a person “of Beaver islands” entitled to $100. This record preserves that precise treaty attestation and spelling.
Evidence and limits
The schedule does not say that Kainwaybekis signed, negotiated, or attended the treaty, and it supplies no biography, title, kinship, residence, community self-description, or later history. “Treaty schedule recipient” is a descriptive source role, not a claim of political office or modern affiliation.
