: : : Again, in preparation for the Gathering and 'Saturday Night at the Movies', I have been doing my homework and swotting up on my general knowledge re: THE BIG MOVIE (just in case 'you-know-who' asks questions!!) and I decided I just HAD to ask a question that has been bothering me for some time but was afraid to ask (I HAVE been looking over the various pages on the site but can't find any mention of it)...

: : : Were 'Sharitarish' and 'Ongewescone' REAL people - real Chiefs?  I assume they are Chiefs as it is they who make the decision whether to stay and fight or to go.  (I have been assuming they are using the 'royal we' - that they speak for the members of their tribe.)  I'd really be interested to know.

: : : Kate. 

: : Kate,
: : When I did a search on Yahoo, umpteen sites came up for Sharitarish, who was apparently a real Pawnee chief.  (Though that may have no connection to the Sharitarish of Cooper's LOTM).  I had no luck so far with Ongewesgone, but I'm not sure I'm spelling it right, either.  Trying different search engines might bring up more results, too.

: : Still checking....
: : MMMM

: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

: How INTERESTING, MMMM!! Thanks for doing that!!  When I get a minute, I'm gonna follow your lead and do some 'searching' - I'd like to know more about who these people might be... 

: (Right - you better stop 'searching' and get back to the painting before Mark comes in and sees you 'slacking'...! :o)

: Thanks, Marcia, it's a 'starting point'...
: Kate.
