Show Indians in France

[Dietmar]

A website visitor is looking look for information on her great-grandmother who was manifestly the child of an American Indian, who participated in the Wild West show in 1905 in Cherbourg in France.

She would like to know if there are any photos of the Indians of the Wild West show which passed in France by 1905, and if their children were with them and if there were cases of adoptions of these children by French families?

This would explain why her great-grandmother was of American Indian heritage and why she inherited from her family in the USA.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

My grandfather John Monroe was in the Wild West shows around that time. We heard that he left an heir in France. He was married to a Sophie Mousseau from the Rosebud or Pine Ridge South Dakota Reservations.
