Moketubbe’s "eight-year-old son" dies "suddenly" and mysteriously after his father's cousin Ikkemotubbe returns to the tribe from a sojourn in New Orleans (158). The narrative strongly implies that Ikkemotubbe kills him, using the "white powder" with which he kills a puppy after getting off the steamboat (158).
