My great grandfather Frank Pomani married Celeste/Solest/ Salice/Celesta AKA Blue Hair Woman originally from Standing Rock. There is a Frank Vassar and a Marpiyawastewin = oiwe? on a census that I found. On the list of families at mankato in 1862 there is a Panmani with Marpiyawastewin and a daughter Angelique age 3. I am wondering if these are the same people? I would really appreciate any help? They are both butied at Fort Thompson , Crow Creek Reservation. I will find their birth and death dates and add them.

For authentic "old school" art work, you might want to browse a few digital photo collections at some libraries and historical societies. I would try searching terms like- artifacts, Indian art, or for any specific item you are looking for. That way you can be assured it is authentic historic work and not some "new age" stuff. The MN hist. soc. has a wonderful digital photo collection as does the Denver Public Library in their Western History collections- history.denverlibrary.org/images/index.html

books.google.com/books?id=NPmpwyk30gkC&dq=Benoist&lr=&as_brr=1&pg=PA338&output=textFrank Pamani, (Hoots-While-Walking) a brother of Andrew Fox, age 20. He returned on expiration of time with his brother and worked with him in the agency carpenter shops. Instead of going to their relatives, they set up an establishment of their own in a vacant house, and made it understood that they were apostles of law and order under a new regime. Notices were posted about the very neat and well arranged room requesting the friends who should call to "no spit on the floor," and in other ways to kindly observe rules practiced in polite society: "No play here. No sat down in the bed. No chew here. No spit the floor here. Sat down like man and talk like man." Frank afterward went to Standing Rock and there married Celeste, a young girl with no education or training. They were both anxious to come to Hampton and were brought in '84, and trained with other married couples. Celeste proved too delicate to remain and Pamani too indifferent, so they were returned the next year to Standing Rock. Frank's land being at Crow Creek they soon removed there and still live in a good log house not far from the Agency. Frank works occasionally, says he wants work, but has the name of being lazy. He is devoted to the Indian dance in which he is a leader. Scholorships given by J. W. Davis, and Broadway Tabernacle, New York. Celeste Pamani. full-blood, age 18. wife of Frank Pamani (See arrivals, November, '78), and came with him to Hampton. Too delicate'to remain long, they returned in '85, and after a time went to his old home at Crow Creek. Celeste has always done well, dresses neatly in the white woman's way, keeps a good house, and is very efficient in the woman's sewing society. Her children have all died in infancy, and she has had much discouragement in regard to her husband, but appears not to have let it affect her bearing nor injure her influence. She has done exceedingly well.
