Many of the facts concerning the life of Chief Spokane Garry cannot be confirmed, as there is no evidence. Many of these articles are stories passed down in the North West and some come from biographical sites that try to be as accurate as possible. Whether these are the absolute truth is hard to tell, but this is what we do know. The events concerning the treaties between the Spokanes and the territory of Washington are, however, accurate, as they are documented.

The stories concerning his childhood and his time at the missionary school are the hardest to prove. If anyone has anything to add to this it would be worthwhile to hear their version.

The page hasn’t changed structurally since I first submitted its contents, however, a new section perhaps will be up soon. It's been very exciting to have other enthusiasts edit the page, make changes, and help. This great man will now endure longer with our contributions. I'm no scholar, nor do I have expertise in Native American history let alone North West Native American History. I grew up there, and this is my contribution to the community. Everything I've written was with much help from outside sources.

The only concerns I see are minor grammatical errors, issues that can be resolved easily. I'll continue to make small changes as we go along. I would love to expand on the treaty discussions, having written it in a flurry and with little comprehension at the time, it would do it justice if it was lengthened.

Where is the stuff about biting the other student's ear coming from? I have never heard that story before. LarryCebula (talk) 20:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
