All right! That's the page created then. I know some Wikipedians are great at expanding stubbs and since this is my first article I'm not really sure what to add although there is a wealth of info in Tim Roufs ethno-biography of Paul Buffalo. It would be great to get a picture from the visual ressource of the Minnesota Historical Society. Maybe someone who knows the Wikipedia policy on images could ask them if some are available without copyright. Keria 11:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A person at nl.wiki already did at wikicommons, so I'm placing that image here. CJLippert (talk) 23:17, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

$5 Indian named John Smith

He wasn't born in America. He's a fraud who was made a "chief" under the Dawes Roll. A wolf in sheep's clothing who signed over native lands to his people... the EUROPEANS. 2601:41:C680:F220:44B0:8B62:8ED1:65F1 (talk) 05:11, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
