<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>No, The Redheart Band of Nez Perce, related to Chief Joseph who died at the Colville Indian Reservation of a broken heart (1902) after the white man killed his wife & 8 children & a daughter Sarah (Christian name) he put on a horse & sent her to Chief Sitting Bull in Canada for protection. She died later at a young age. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>What I'm getting at is, the Redheart Band of Nez Perce were set to Kansas, Oklahoma & even Oakland, CA. Where James Reuben a member of Chief Joseph's tribe pleaded to take them home, as only a hand full were left alive. Older women & children all that was left barely alive & he was allowed to take them home. To this day Jesse Redheart & others live on the Reservation at: Lapwai, Idaho. My grandmother has a picture sent to her by the Redhearts.. of Chief Redheart & his 2 Children on a horse, 1907 Peck, Idaho.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>I do know my history, as I have research very heavy on The Nez Perce & my grandmother told us when little kids we are related to the Redheart band of Nez Perce</FONT><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2> which are related to Chief Joseph the son & his father Old Chief Joseph. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>We go every year to Joseph, Oregon & to the pow wows at: Wallowa and we go every April to the Ceremonial at Fort Vancouver when The Redheart band were wrongly imprisoned & a 2 year old died while in Captivity.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>My grandmother rode horses in the Wallowa valley with Rose Redheart as a young girl. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>As a matter of fact, my grandmother rode in the parades every year at Joseph Oregon along with Walter Brennnen who was the Grand Marshall.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>Thanks for your thoughts though!</FONT></DIV>
