Isaac was born to James Jay Kindness and his wife Hannah Dick. The family name is also found as Kinness. They are members of the Brothertown Tribe. His family has Pequot origins. He moved as a child with his parents to Wisconsin when the tribe relocated from New York.
Sometime around the Civil War, Isaac and his brother Laton (Thomas Layton Kindness) joined a Circus and traveled as Indian Doctors. Eventually the brothers ended up in Stockton, NY where Laton decided to permanently settle.
Isaac was at one time married to an Indian woman known professionally as Dr. Lee-o-netto. They are both single in the 1870 U.S. Census and were a married couple according to a news clipping in the summer of 1874. She married 2nd in 1888 under the name Leonetta Kinness.
About this same time period (1870s) both Isaac and his brother, Laton, began using the surname Kanistanaux. They both maintained this surname until their deaths and both were known a physicians.
Isaac is found in a number of New York and Pennsylvania towns from 1870 to 1901, when I loose all track of him.
> 1870 Census - Rathbone, Steuben Co., NY
> 1874 News clipping - purchased land in Stockton, Chautauqua Co., NY
> 1880 Census - Addison, Steuben Co., NY
> 1889 News clipping - Keeneyville, Tioga Co., PA
> 1892 Doctors Journal - Little Marsh, Tioga Co., PA
> 1895 Medical Register - East Chatham, Tioga Co., PA
> 1899 Tioga Co. Directory - East Chatham, Tioga Co., PA
> 1900 Personal Letter - East Chatham, Tioga Co., PA
> 1901 Tioga County Aid list - East Chatham, Tioga Co., PA
The last mention I found for Isaac suggests his health and finances were failing, so he perhaps died in 1901 at or near East Chatham, Tioga Co., PA.
