While I do not plan to blog much about our recent exciting discovery of the original document with Spokane Garry's native name in it, I did want to post two links here for reference:
Barry's description of our research:

Here's the newspaper article recently published about it:

Personally, I have felt very happy to server as a link-maker between Doug's original discovery & Slough-keetcha's homecoming to the Spokane nation through Barry Moses' scholarship and articulate voice.
My ultimate desire is that I would be a living bridge of the love of God and the truth of the gospel to Native Americans, through assisting in credible research that points to the once and future awakening power of God's kingdom in the native community, and raises awareness of people like Slough-keetcha who believed in Christ within their native culture, letting the Spirit transform them into a follower of the Jesus Way, beyond nationalism or ethnocentricity.
