His mother was full blooded German.
He doesn't use his Nation Name, he nor his sister was never registered with the Government as having Indian Blood and they were not born on the reservation.
My husband father left the reservation at the age of 13 to work in the mines and rail road.
At 20 years old my husbands father joined the Navy on Dec. 8th 1941 and obtained training in Electrical wiring / reading wiring schematics and advanced wiring work.
His highest formal education was on the reservation up to grade 5 and he's father pulled him out of school once he could read an write to work on their ranch.
Sorry I was rambling again.
Please don't apologize for sharing interesting information!
The Lakota at one time were considered the fiercest warriors of all the Tribes.
Not too many Tribes can brag about taking the American flag during war.
Your husband should be proud of his heritage.
If you are a Game of Thrones fan, the Dothraki were modeled after the Lakota.
