(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.3,4,5,6,7,8,9

(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.9,10,11,12,13,14,15

(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Death*8 October 1913Donald drowned in a boating/hunting accident on Wednesday, 8 October 1913 in the railroad reservoir west of the city of Dickinson, Stark County, North Dakota, at age 19. Headlines in The Dickinson Press of Saturday, October 19 shouted: "Donald Hunter Drowned in Pond West of City. Recoil of Gun Capsized His Canoe. Made Heroic Effort to Swim Ashore. Twenty Hours Before Body Was Recovered. Service at (A.D.) Heaton Home. Mother at Anoka; Meets Funeral Party in Cities. Cremation Will Take Place in St. Paul"

The story that followed was a long one, although the headlines told much of the story. Donald was described as a bright young man who had graduated from Dickinson High School the previous spring. He had been expecting to take a position with the Geo. Heaton Lumber Company at Belfield within a few days.2,1
