Dean, I'm so glad that you asked this question, have you done any research on Indian customs and or lifestyles ? I would be more than happy to share what info I have gathered on the subject, taken from Dawes inrollment applications, census, etc. For those of you that are interested in the subject lets start a discusion on this forum, I think it would make a great topic, after all this is not your tipical text book info. If anyone else out there has any info on the subject please jump in here and share with the rest of us. If you are in the dark then jump in with a question and we will all do our best to find an answer for you . In the mean time I will be sorting through my info looking for source material that I have stored somewhere in this mess of mine.
