I am pleased to tell you of a new Native American website- sent to me by researcher "Pat Murphy Brattland(Yet-choo-nook)" The surnames she wishes to add to the Mariposa Website Surname are page: Thurman Higgens Murphy, Sr. Thurman Higgens Murphy, Jr. Visit Pat's new website to learn more about her heritage. Also see the wonderful photos of the Indian baskets. http://www.gerlecreek.com/documents/dumnayokuts.htm Thanks for sharing this site with us Yet-choo-nook! Best, Carolyn

Hello yet-choo-nook! I recently received a petition for Louisa Westfall Hilliard. On it, she stated her band was the Cassons. I was not familiar with this term so I was delighted to read your website! Sharon

On yet-choo-nook's page it talks about being taken to the Indian School in Stewart, Nevada. I recently spoke to someone on the phone that had a first hand experience of being taken to Stewart. She said the native children were taken there on the advice of a local priest. She said my great-uncle Pete Hilliard accompanied them there.
