Hello Chicheman,
Thank you for your precious comment.
I'm not at all historian, nor specialist of something.
Following your meeting with Ernie La Pointe there's a mistake with french journalists (newspapers,radioss and tvs), with many websites, wikipedia , flickr, canadian veterans website( the Canadian Virtual War Mémorial) .They are all writing the same story about Joseph Standing Buffalo and his realtion with Tatanka Iyotake.
Please, you can have a look on those all websites to read their articles yourself.
I have sent some emails to french historians and canadian historians vétérans to have more informations about that mistake.
I'm really sorry for my own mistake to share some news from France into that website . Please tell it to Ernie La Pointe from me.
Next time i will search some true informations before to send something here.
With my deep respect of the honored Tatanka Iyotake and his descendants.
Best and thanks.
Hervé
