As someone on tribal rolls that’s lucky enough not to live on reservations. I can say you aren’t wrong. Though my point in using them was that they are directly tied to the fascists. The ones aiming to kill FDR were Hitler sympathizers etc. So a bit more directly connected to the Nazis / fascists.
Ottowae on one side recent enough, that my grandmother went to one of those white washing ”Indian schools”. Wyandotte a bit further back on the other side with a bit more Ottawae. Which is pretty common considering after the death march, those that survived ended up in kansas/oklahoma.
One of my grandmother’s, who survived wounded knee as a toddler, told my cousin that as long as he knows the blood they share, even if they say it’s only 1% then they are Lakota like her.
