Hi Dot, You may be able to find what you are looking for by going to www.google.com/search and type in James or William Curtis at the top in the search space. Also there is a web site for Curtis with all spellings at www.curtis-curtiss.com. Charles Curtis Vice- President of United States under President Woodrow Wilson was a Kaw Indian from Kansas. He was the first Native American to become a senator and also the first Native American to become Vice President. On the Google site is info on Kaw, Pottawatomi and Osage Nations. There is also info on the Haskell Indian Nations University. I hope this will get to the info you are seeking. Good luck! Peggy
