this talks about how the french canadian explorers and traders married the lakota sioux
the famous missouri river bridge here in bismarck is named after grant marsh who had 27 children on the standing rock reservation in north and south dakota
ladonna is director of tourism at standing rock

Lakota.....my blood, does not forget. Neither shall my soul conflict. I have reconciliation between me, and myself. Remember your sons and
daughters that went to the west.

Chouteau's down here in Osage County Oklahoma too.....the Osage were Siouan-speaking tribe, traded & married with the French.
My husband works with a man who's last name is Chouteau(Choteau).
Neat video Larson! Thanks for posting...I love history lessons like this.

Very interesting.

The Choteaus and Menards are family, with great back stories...descendants married into Blackfeet tribe, part of the original 1853 treaty party....
