Hi I am looking for information on Chief Gray Eagle / David Gillingham. He married a white girl, my great great aunt maggie from Boston. Does anyone have any pictures of either one of them? He was Chief White Eagle's adopted son. His Mother was known as Martha White Eagle. My ggaunt became a full Pawnee and was allotted land and all of the privileges allotted a full-blooded Pawnee. David took the Chief back to Genoa Nebraska befor the Chief passed on. I have an article on it.

Hello,
My name is John. I live out here in western Massachusetts and very much interested in Pawnee history and culture. I was wondering if someone might lend me a hand in some research? I am trying to reconstruct a pair of period correct Pawnee moccasins such as you might have seen being worn about the time of the Civil War...Does anyone have any patterns? Or ever made a pair in this style? Thank you for your help

Hello everyone, Can anyone provide additional information,family photo`s, or historical research on the interpreter for the Pawnee. I have collected this so far any help? Louis La Chapelle was born in 1782 at Kaskaskia Illinois. His father was Bazille Janot La Chapelle of French Canadian decent. Louis was the interpreter for the Pawnee at the Pawnee mission. Louis was a witness to the Oct. 1833 treaty with the Pawnee at the grand Pawnee village on the Platte`s south bank. By it`s terms the Pawnee ceded all claim to the lands south of the Platte River. Louis was also a witness to the Nov. 1833 Indian peace council at Fort Levenworh. In July of 1835 Louis had the privilege of accompanying the Grand Pawnee on their summer buffalo hunt on the republic river.The Pawnee main camp was quite large and it consisted of 600 buffalo skin lodges and some 5000 people and several thousand horses. In June of 1843 a force of over 300 Sioux indians led by Chief Bull Tail and Iron Shell raided a new Pawnee village just one mile from the current Pawnee Mission. 21 of the 41 large Paw nee lodges were burned several chiefs and braves were killed including Chief Blue Coat. 200 men, woman and children were killed in the battle. Also killed was the interpreter for that nation a Mr. Louis La Chapelle. (KSHS, SDHS, 28th Congress, Dec. 4, 1843, No. 13 p. 313, Journey of a fur trading expedition on the Upper Missouri, 1812-1813, by John C. Luttig, p. 30,32,77,98,157, The beginning of the West, by Louise Barry, p. 246,254,290,489, The Five Indian Tribes of the Upper Missouri, Edwin Thomas Denig, p. 26-29).

RE: Brummett Alternate spelling is Bromet Echo Hawk, son of Elmer Price Echo Hawk (1892-1942) and Alice Jake Echo Hawk (1890-1930). I have no further information for Alice Jake Echo Hawk. Elmer Price Echo Hawk is a son of Echo Hawk (1855-) and Choo Rox Echo Hawk (1864-). Siblings of Bromet are Owen, Ernest, Delray, and Marcella (1/2). In 1930 Bromet was a student at Pawnee Indian Boarding School. Traced him through Indian Census records til 1937. No further information.

Hey Pawnee Museum! I am interested in the Pawnee Scouts who served with North. I found one roster online for 1865-1866. Since service was mostly for one year, other units would have different personnel, right? Is there an online source for the other rosters?

Just one of those things...I was looking for Pawnee Scout information on a military history site (http://www.history.army.mil/html/topics/natam/natam-wwii.html) and saw the following: "Brumett Echohawk (Pawnee), a renowned expert in hand-to-hand combat, trained commandos."

meaux...the story of Maggie Hand (1867-1950) is kind of a famous "white captive" story. She had several marriages so her history is rather complicated. I have a newspaper article of her that includes a photograph if this is the same person as your relative and if you are interested.

I am looking for any information on chief White Eagle and his son Gray Eagle/David Gillingham. What I am really interested in finding out is the other siblings of David. On my dads mothers side of the family, we know White Eagle is in the line somewhere, but my great grandmother would not speak of it to my dads mother. She would never tell her where they were from or who was on her side of the family, but from what I understand, she looked Indian. They did later find out that White Eagle was family and they believe that one of his daughters is where our lines came down from but we haven't found much on them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
