Wind Cave in South Dakota has a buffalo hide with winter count. I’m doing genealogy for my family in Pine Ridge. The census are limited to 1900 so I’m researching winter counts to see whether or not I can go back further in the bloodline. This video is very helpful thank you!

Thank you so very much....
We have studied under Abraham Park (s. Korea) until his passing, and he taught us that the genealogies of Joktan are the same .
They condensed so much into one name each generation that when you open up their meaning and apply the events of that time it creates a living history that defines the Time and Hope of the people.
