I suggest that we set up special threads for the white key players in the NDN history, the interpreters, traders and socalled "squawmen".
E.G.
In the Lakota section a thread for the Janis Brothers, James Bordeaux or Billie Garnett or the Richards etc. or in the
Apache section for Tom Jeffords.
What do you think?

I'm for it, as many of them were considered members of tribes and even enrolled later. Some very interesting persons all the same with fascinating histories intwined with tribes. And also because this happens to be my favorite topic  |

Any more opinions? Maybe we should name the threads "Janis Family", "Richard Family" etc. so they fit in the Oglala section for example. I think we have done it this way with the Bent Family in the Cheyenne section.

Interesting article beginning on page 15: The Mexican Connection www.santafetrail.org/publications/wagon-tracks/pdf/WT_Aug-2015.pdfPage 19: Mountain Men of New Mexico & Mexican saddles adopted by cowboys. "Another New Mexican, Isador Sandoval, was the well-regarded interpreter for the Blackfoot at Fort Union. Jose Miravile was an important interpreter for the Lakota. It is worth noting that the family names of the two latter men were later rendered as Sanderville and Merrivale, making Hispanic Mexicans into French Canadians." |

As you might have noticed, I have created a new board "Indian Reservations & Agencies" in the category "Historical Events". Here we can discuss the history of those places and the people connected to them... Indian agents, traders, military leaders, etc., who were important for Indian history as such.
Hope you like it! ;-)
A big thank you to Californian, who had the perfect idea to make it happen!
