Goggling books for my grandfather and great-grandfather, A.C. Smith, Sr. and Alfred “Clement” Smith, Jr., I came across Smith Sr.’s name and others of our band in a book called Bibliography of the Eskimo Language by James Constantine Pilling, published in Washington, Government Printing Office, 1887, p.20.
Some of you may find the following very interesting as some of those listed maybe your relatives and were part of putting the Dakota language into the New Testament either as authors or interpreters. To see the full printing of the publication:
