My great grandfather. He was 100 when I was 3 years old and we spoke sign language to him because he was deaf by then.
He was a very industrious, hard working man. He built a giant red barn to hold his horses and cows. He was a great man.
One night, a couple of white men came from town and burned his barn down because he was becoming too successful.

My great grandfather was blond and blue-eyed. Most likely his family was killed by Indians in the 1860's and he was raised by an Indian family.
At least that is the romanticised version I like to tell. But how else would a white man be raised by Indians. Our tribe was still running wild on the prairies in the 1860's. No reservation until 1875. Very well respected in those days. Can you imagine his life as a child? Anyhoot, more pics.
Anadarko, Oklahoma
American Indian Exposition Parade, 1970
The Apache Fire Dancers. They used to scare us when we were kids.

Redbird, did you say you were Comanche? Any relation to Nocona?
I was sitting in the waiting room of Springer Clinic a few years ago when an elderly NA came in and sat down. We began talking and, as I usually do, asked questions about his childhood, where he grew up, etc. Turns out he was Charlie Chibitty, the last Comanche code talker from WWII. What a fantastic life this man had lived. |
