When I was around 11 or 12 years old my cousin Armalona came to visit my family in Chicago. At the time my counsin's father ;my uncle Clyde White Jr. moved his family away from the big city out west somewhere. When she came in she had a young man with her.
I remembered his name only being " Dallas" He had sort of blondish hair and long. He was very friendly. Since it has been decades since I have seen her I can only remember a few things.
1. She has a son by this man name Dallas
2. The birth of this son causes such a stir it was written up in the newspapers - I saw a copy of it maybe she or someone else let my family see it.
3. I am speculating but perhaps the legtimacy of the son was in question. Was this child the son of Dallas? or maybe was Dallas the great, great, great grandson of Crazy Horse?
4. All I know for sure is that my female cousin Armalona lives with her family on the Sioux Reservation. So there must be some truth this story that they are accepted on the Sioux Nation. She nor I have seen each other in 51 years.
I would see her father my uncle from time to time. But lost touch.
I am doing Genelogy research and have a family tree on Ancestry.
If anyone remembers or knows where I can find this newspaper article or knows such a man name Dallas can you let me know. Thanks
I decided to look and see if perhaps I could find the article before I post this and this is what I found.
ERUSALEM — A 13-year-old American Indian boy who has come to Israel for his Bar Mitzvah reasserted Wednesday that he is the direct descendant of Chief Crazy Horse despite reports that the legendary 19th-Century tribal leader had no children.
"Crazy Horse had a daughter," Little Sun Bordeaux of Spokane, Wash., told reporters here during a visit with his Jewish mother, Armalona Greenfield.
Little Sun--whose father, Dallas Chief Eagle Bordeaux, is a member of the Oglala Sioux Indian tribe living in Flandreau, S.D.--and his mother toured a number of historical sites in and around Jerusalem as doubts grew over his ancestry.
The boy and his mother arrived in Israel on Monday. Their plane tickets and accommodations were free, courtesy of El Al, Israel's national airline, and a Jerusalem hotel.
Upon his arrival, the airline's publicity department called him a direct descendant of Crazy Horse, who led the Sioux in the 1876 battle against Gen. George A. Custer at Little Big Horn, and said he is in line to become chief of the Oglala tribe of the Sioux.
But the executive director of the 20,000-member Oglala Sioux tribe in Pine Ridge, S.D., said Tuesday that Crazy Horse had no children.
On Wednesday, the Rev. Martin Broken Leg, a Rosebud Sioux and associate professor of Native American Studies at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., said, "I don't recall he (Crazy Horse) had any children at all."
Jim Potter, a spokesman for the Nebraska State Historical Society, said that as far as he knows, Crazy Horse had no children who lived to be adults. The chief had a daughter who is believed to have died when she was about 3, he said.
When questioned about the challenge to her son's claim, Little Sun's mother said all Oglala Sioux consider Crazy Horse thei articles.latimes.com/1986-08-21/news/mn-17579_1_crazy-horse

PINE RIDGE, S.D. — A 13-year-old American boy on a bar mitzvah visit to Israel cannot be a descendant of Crazy Horse as he and his mother claim because the legendary Indian chief had no children, a leader of the Oglala Sioux tribe said Tuesday.
"According to the genealogical chart of Crazy Horse, he did not have any children, nor are there any surviving descendants," said Ramon Bear Runner, executive director of the 20,000-member Oglala Sioux tribe.
Bear Runner said he and other tribal officials never heard of Little Sun Bordeaux until this week, when news reports emerged from Tel Aviv about his trip to Israel.
Little Sun, who has said he is the great-grandson of Crazy Horse, met Israeli President Chaim Herzog on Tuesday during a well-publicized visit to Jerusalem and planned to celebrate his bar mitzvah Thursday at the Western Wall of Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
When questioned in Jerusalem about the tribe's challenge to his claim, Little Sun's mother, the former Armalona Greenfield, said he belongs to the Oglala Sioux tribe, which considers Crazy Horse an ancestor.
Little Sun, who wore a Jewish skullcap above his Sioux Indian headband while meeting Herzog, arrived in Israel on Monday from his home in Spokane, Wash., with his mother, who is Jewish.
