agree but remember the father would not have the same name as the son unless there was a reason for him to give his name to his son and then he would not carry that name again. we dont have the concept of surnames, each person has their own name like i said unless a person gave their name away.

so which one you talking about? If it is One Feather he had a relationship to Sitting Bull's family, I would have to look but they were married into that family. Long Feather was Blackfeet and had no relationship. The Oglala Moses had none.

The man mentioned by John S. Gray in this article (it's linked in Emily Levine's post down the page), but if that's the man in the photos, he's clearly too old to be the one you referred to earlier. So maybe the man in the Goff and Barry photos is someone different. Dietmar wrotes about him here: www.american-tribes.com/Lakota/BIO/LongFeather.htm
