Fineday or Kamiokisihkwew (born ca. 1852 – unknown; but after 1935) was a Cree war chief of the River People band of Plains Cree. He participated in the North-West Rebellion of 1885 (notably the battle of Cut Knife). Described by a contemporary as "brave in all things," he was a skilled warrior, hunter, trapper and (in later life) a powerful shaman.[1]
Fineday's memories of the North West rebellion were published by the Canadian North-West Historical Society in 1926.[2]
David G. Mandelbaum, in the introduction to his extensive study of the Plains Cree cites Fineday as his principal informant.

Fine Day
by: JawbreakerIf I believed everything that you said,
Then I'd never go outside.
And if you completely showed yourself to me,
Then I'd never go outside.
Fine day if you're not me.
Fine day to sleep.
If the sun came and it wouldn't go away,
Then I'd never go outside.
I've got no time for your Sunday afternoons,
And I'll never go outside.
