Maggie Broeren, Shuwateen
Shuateen (sic) was Klon-day’s daughter. Her brother was Jim Boss. Shuwateen's first husband died while he was hunting in the mountains. The family wanted her to marry an older man, but she resisted, which was unusual, and went down to Dawson. There she met a European named Dutch Henry and married him to become Maggie Broeren. Their child, Celia, was born with pale skin and green eyes. She was nicknamed “Seagull” and the elders hid her when they had visitors.1)
Maggie raised her granddaughter, Irene Smith, at Upper Laberge village. Irene’s mother was Alice Sam, nee Broeren.2) Maggie and Dutch Henry Broeren had seven children: Celia (1897-2000), John (1899-1981), Agnes “Aggie” (b. 1903), George (1908 – 1930), Willie (1910-1988, and Charlie (1912-1988).3)
