Arapaho
6-26-99
I am seeking more information on the four stages or "hills of
life". I am a member of the C&A Tribes of OK. I grew up with very
little knowledge of the Arapaho Way. I was taught the Arapaho had Clans.
The only one I know anything about is the Gourd Clan, which is made up of
elders. That is all I know of the Gourd Clan. If you could contribute
information on any/all of the clans, and any other Arapaho history it
would be greatly appreiated. As an Arapaho Indian I am very interested in
learning about my heritage. I would also be able to pass down this
information to my children. If you can assist me with this information or
suggest other literature that would help me learn more about the clans,
please forward to Tim Mosqueda.
Thank you very much.

Arapaho ADDISON
10-11-99
I am told by elderly relatives that my g-grandfather's mother was a full
blood Indian and his father was a runaway slave. They arrived in Virginia
after the Civil War (1880's) with 9 boys. His father's name was Stephany
ADDISON and his mother's name was Malvina. I have searched among the lists
for Cherokees and Creeks to no avail. I'm wondering if his mother could
have been Arapaho, as I have seen the name ADDISON among modern day
Arapahos, and his physical characteristics are suggestive of pictures I
have seen of the tribe. Any ideas? Thanx. Please contact Lynn
Burnett
Cheyenne MARY LYLE WILLIAMS
10-23-99
My GGrandmother was born in 1859-60 possibly at or near Ft. Laramie, WY.
My family said she was the daughter or grand daughter of ROMAN NOSE, most
likely granddaughter as she was 1/2 Cheyenne, 1/2 Lakota. The family story
goes like this: As ROMAN NOSE and his people were being chased so
viciously and so many were being killed, ROMAN NOSE sent some of the
children to RED CLOUD (Lakota)at or near Ft. Laramie so there would be
some left to carry the Cheyenne Nation forward. These children married
people from the Lakota Nation. My GGrandmother was one of the children of
these marriages and was in the first group of children sent to boarding
school, she never returned to live in that area. All I have is my
GGrandmother's white name, MARY LYLE, she married a white man with the
last name of WILLIAMS, lived the rest of her life in NE Texas near Sulpher
Springs. *Any* help would be appreciated, possibly someone may have heard
this or a similar story in the ROMAN NOSE family? I first heard this story
over 36 years ago. Thank you. Please contact Marji
