Historique
"Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance" was not a Blackfoot chief, as he claimed in the article. He was a journalist, writer and actor from Winston-Salem, North Carolina named Sylvester Clark Long. He spoke out on behalf of Indian causes. After his tribal claims were found to be false, he was generally disavowed. He claimed to know Chief Carry-the-Kettle personally and wrote that he visited him in 1922 when Carry-the-Kettle was 107 years old.
