This is a picture of my mothers biological father who was born around 1898-1906 on the Northern Cheyenne reservation. The only thing we know about him is that he left the reservation as a young man because something he and his friends were trying to do that was very good, went wrong and an innocent young man was accidentally killed. My grandfather left the reservation to avoid his family facing reprisals for his groups actions. We know that his band did not take animal names. After he left the reservation he lived under a different name, Loren Nedley. He did not raise my mother and she knows very little about him. She would like to claim her heritage and be recognized as a Cheyenne before she dies. She is 80 years old.
