Notabilty

[edit]

I tagged this as {{nn}}. While it is interesting that he was the first Native American LDS missionary that doesn't make him any more notable than the first Spanish Missionary or African Missionary, and these individuals are not notable either.--ARTEST4ECHO (talk/contribs) 17:22, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed not a major figure from the Mormon perspective, but he's notable from the perspective of Native Americans. Pre-1900 Native American biography with reliable secondary sources is not so easy to find. By describing a survivor of a massacre, this article helps document longer term outcomes for Native Americans living at the time of the the Indian Wars. It's a less typical story to find Native Americans serving as the missionaries to other Native Americans; and a Native American first. Removed PROD; am hopeful the article can be expanded a bit from the Christensen book. This biography fills out the picture with regards to systemic bias by providing fuller historic documentation of how ethnic and religious groups have interacted.
