However, I never knew it had actually been "changed" until one day about 10+ years ago I received a letter from my mother.
In that letter contained the newspaper article about the change of the name from Squaw Valley to what it is now.
My mother was at this time about 75 years old and sent this to me immediately for the woman I mention above, the older of the two sisters was indeed her foster mother.
She was really glad to know the name had been changed needless to say for it was she that witnessed this whole tragic thing at a different time in different places.
As for my late father, it was he who knew the old story of the abduction from the reservation in Oklahoma. Seems he was quite drunk one night with the old codger that did this and he bragged to my father about it and my father was disgusted as well. He was the one that told me about it, not my mother (who I'm sure knew).
It is so very sad the way Indian women have been treated in America -- an absolute disgrace.
