Ephriam,
I've been reading the Meany Papers that you put up with great interest. Almost all of the interviews contain fascinating details and insights, and often greatly add to the details that were used in Curtis' books. I really appreciate it that you shared them.
Will you post the remaining interviews as well? Hungry for more!
Carlo

carlo ... I have been finding these posts by Ephriam to be amazing as well.
Truthfully - I have no idea what the "Meany Papers" actually are.
I lso dont know where the link is ... to the whole document.
But the contents of those materials - open up a whole new world!!

When I found the Meany papers while working on Josephine Waggoner's book I was amazed at the number of interviews and the wealth of information. I have family in Seattle, so was able to go to the UW University Archives one xmas and read them. I copied a bunch of them and was able to give---via a friend--Hollow Horn Bear's interview to his descendant Albert White Hat. He had never seen it and was glad to have it. I see one role of non native historians being helping to facilitate the return of tribal history to the people. The long-standing oral history-keeping was so disrupted by boarding schools; it only takes one generation to lose history that had been kept for hundreds of years. There are some advantages to writing things down like white people do. Taking children to boarding schools was a theft of the culture from the people. Especially a theft of the historical memory. Non native historians of the Lakota have an obligation to help, in a very small way, to make this right.
