    {EXCERPTED FROM On This Date In North American Indian History
    By Phil Konstantin

    1860: The WIYOTs lived on the upper California coast between the Little River and the Bear River. An annual ceremony lasting over a week is held in the village of Tutulwat on an island in the river in what is now Eureka, California. By WIYOT tradition, everyone was welcome at the ceremony, including whites. Tonight after the ceremonies were finished, a group of men from Eureka snuck into the village and attacked the participants. Several other nearby villages were also attacked. An estimated 80 to 100 indians were killed in the sneak attack. An annual vigil is now held on a nearby island to commemorate the event.

    RELEVANT LINKS:
    1881: According to Army records, 325 SIOUX, believed to be primarily from Sitting Bull's camp, surrender to Major David Brotherton, 7th infantry, at Fort Buford, near the North Dakota-Montana line. 150 horses, and 40 guns are turned in by the Indians.

    URGENT HEATING NEED WOUNDED KNEE DISTRICT..READ IT...

    UPDATE:
    Hi Ish.
    Here is the information on Gordon Propane
    They will take checks or money orders and the minimum amount is $135.00 for 
    100 gallons. 
    Their address is......Gordon Propane
                                  P.O. Box 58,
                                  Gordon, Nebraska,
                                69343
                                 Ph: 308-282-1725

    the other one is Blue Gas but they recommend sending to PTI which is
    interesting . She told me they cant afford to travel 30 miles to the rez all over the place to deliver propane so think that lets out Blue Gas. Looks like Gordon is the best one......  Bennetts are having problems and so is PTI with drivers apparently. 
    all my best:-)
