I believe you mean Tamaroa tribe. From Wikipedia: The Tamaroa were a Native American tribe in the central Mississippi River valley of North America, and a member of the Illiniwek or Illinois Confederacy of twelve to thirteen tribes.

An Algonquian-speaking group, like the rest of the Illiniwek, they lived on both sides of the Mississippi River in the area of the confluence with the Illinois and Missouri rivers. Two leaders of the Tamaroa were among those who signed the treaty of 1818, by which the various groups of the Illiniwek ceded about half of the present state of Illinois to the United States. Descendants of the Tamaroa later merged with other, larger tribes of the Illiniwek, such as the Peoria. As a consequence of the forced Indian removal in the 1830s, their descendants are to be found mostly in Oklahoma, as the Confederated Peoria Tribe
I have no proof that any Gamache of that time married an Indian.

Hello, I am a descendent of the marriage between Jean Baptiste Gamache and Mya, his Indian wife. My great grandparents had love letters from Jean to Mya. I will try to get the letters to copy and send to you. I know that my grandfather also donated many letters to history museums, so I will have to track these down. I have been told that Mya was the Indian princess of that tribe.
I am very green on all of this, so by all means I will do and get the info I can to clear anything up. Thank you and please reply soon.

Hi! I speak French. Sorry for spelling errors. I read that you had information about the Gamache family and I would be interrested to know the history of my family. I wonder where did you get all this information. Have you taken a book (in this case, what book and where can I get it?) or elsewhere? Thank you for replying to my email, it's much appreciated.

I have been trying to solve a "family story" mystery saying Jean Baptiste Gamache is an ancestor. (Please follow this thread back to 27/28 August 2005) That thread speaks of an Indian woman named Mi-no-rah. Can you tell me the names of the children of Mya and Jean Baptiste Gamache and the approximate time frame we are talking about? One possible link is an approximately 20 year old woman (in l885) with the maiden name of Mary E. Williams from DeSoto, MO in Jefferson County.
