While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
An important Plains tribe of the great Algonquian family,
closely associated with the Cheyenne for at least a century past. They
call themselves Iñunaina, about equivalent to 'our
people.' The name by which they are commonly known is of uncertain
derivation, but it may possibly be, as Dunbar suggests, from the
Pawnee tirapihu or larapihu, 'trader.' By the Sioux and Cheyenne they
are called " Blue-sky men " or "Cloud men," the reason for which is

Indian Affairs, Laws & Treaties, Vol. 2 As the United States expanded westward from the
original thirteen colonies, settlers often confronted the existing owners
of the land. As a result the federal government often negotiated treaties
with these Native Americans. This collection of official treaties was
compiled by the United States and originally printed in 1904. It contains
the full text of nearly a hundred treaties between the government and such
tribes as the Delaware, Seneca, Yakima, and Sioux. Ranging from the late
1700's through the end of the 19th Century, each treaty includes the names
of those present, both U.S. representatives and Native American tribal
chiefs. Apart from the historical importance of these documents, for those
seeking ancestors who were involved in treaty negotiations, this can be an
illuminating database. (Subscribers Only)Free Trial - Ancestry.com US Deluxe Membership
