Mató-Berockä
Mató-Berockä (Male Bear) was the young son of Mató-Tópe. Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied did not record his age, but when Karl Bodmer later inserted children into his prints of Numak'aki village scenes, he added a toddler boy, potentially inspired by his meeting of Mató-Berockä. Bringing one’s child to meet the Europeans at Fort Clark may have been a gesture reserved for leaders of Mít uta hako'sh (First Village), as Síh-Chidä also brought his five-year-old child to Bodmer’s studio for a visit.[1]
