Thanks ouroboros, that is great informations, thanks for your efforts of research. Looks like there was some alliance between Lipan-Apaches and Tonkawas during the 19th century and they also did intermarry to some degree. Some informations to find in a new book on the Tonkawas: The Texas Tonkawas, Stanley S. McGowen, 2020, State House Press, TX. Tribal History until 21. Century. Pages 161-162: (at Powwows) Each tribe performs certain dances particular to their culture.For instance, the Tonkawa dance and sing a special song honoring the Lipan Apaches, old allies and no longer recognized as a tribe by the United States government. (Though we know that their are descendants among the Mescalero Nation and of two groups calling themselves Lipan Apaches in Texas). The Tonkawas, Mescalero Apaches and possible Kiowa-Apache tribes absorbed the survivors of the scattered Lipan Apaches years ago. Anyway, both Lipan and Tonkawas are reported to have been superb scouts, fighters and hunters and horsemen, fighting Comanches and Kiowas and acting as scouts for the US Army during the wars on the southern Plains. Sources to find in Sherry Robinson, I fought a good fight - A History of the Lipan Apaches, Univ. of North Texas Press. Best chicheman

Pida Maya for sharing the info about the different Siouan speaking peoples. It is most interesting to learn about the nations living far apart on the North American continent, being related by a common language stock and by blood. I think I did hear about language preservation and revitalization among eastern Siouan people, like Catawba and Saponi in eastern US area. These were not part of seven council fires of course, that the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota are representing. Looking forward also about learning more on the seven council fires. Wopida.

Thank you Mitchel BigHunter, Pidamaya for this interesting share. That was tragic events of the Dakota war of 1862 that sure could have been avoided if the Dakota would have been treated fairly and with justice. I was reading the Dakota Prisoner of War Letters - Dakota Kaskapi Okicize Wowapi by Clifford Canku and Michael Simon, a very good book in my opinion and it is often kind of heartbreaking to read of the treatments the Dakota had to endure. Best from Germany, Tanyan un wo, Toksta ake chicheman

Nawa kc, I just noticed your reply, thank you. Are you speaking German ? So it looks like it is not that easy to find out much about Big Spotted Horse. We will be glad to learn anything you may be able to share with us here about your ancestor, looking forward to that. Danke and stay well in this strange time of Corona danger. Good thoughts over the pond !

Hi Mike, sorry I´m a little late with response. Yes, quite some information in -Maheo´s children- and though I´m still not thru it reading, on some things we might not agree probably. The author does focus a lot also on Delaware Indian history and especially his references on the Walam Olam is to question, since this was examined by experts and found out to be fake, not to count on it as real history but fabricated. But a lot of information in Maheo´s children I found quite interesting and sounding correct. As for the aquisition of the horse by the Cheyennes, I guess it was found out at the old earthlodge places known to have been inhabited by the Cheyennes, that they had seemingly horses there, probably as early as the 1720´s or 1730´s. Not very many I suppose, but a number of horses at least. Would be interesting to learn what you did find out about that subject. Is there some Kiowa tradition that tells about first horses among Cheyennes ? Always glad to learn. Thanks and greetings
