more on Spotted Elk - video by his great-grandson Calvin

[Californian]

I found this compelling brief video on the internet by Spotted Elk's great-grandson, Calvin Spotted Elk. I wish we could get Calvin to participate on this forum.

Californian,

Calvin is a member of this forum, but he hasn´t participate for a while. Not sure if he checks back often.

He´s active on Facebook and right now is trying to establish a new website about Spotted Elk.

I´ll post a link when he has finished the site.

thanks Dietmar for this - I now did find Calvin's contributions, the last one dates from 2014. I am not on facebook - I did find that he has a page on google+ which he seemingly has been inactive for several years and also google+ are shutting down in a couple of months. Calvin's cause would need a lot of support to get the due respect for his gg-grandfather, Spotted Elk. The link to the video that I posted on youtube had only been watched by 146 people and that includes me. I hope that he succeeds to get a grassroots campaign going. Calvin's father's plight about the lock of hair of Spotted Elk being handed over to a non-kin person is deplorable and a similar thing nearly happened to Ernie laPointe if I remember right, but luckily he was able to prevail. If you can reach out to him through Facebook would be great. A year ago or so I wrote him once a letter to his address in Santa Rosa CA but it came back as non deliverable.
