Hoyekiyapi! It is so good to hear from you! You are absolutely right - I read the "first family" bit in a newspaper some time back and found it a little weird. That's why I put it in quotes but I think I'm going to take it out of the essay entirely and just refer to the late Amos and Ione as spiritual and/or community leaders. Thank you! Hello hello hello! Hoyekiyapi! It is so good to hear from you!

You are absolutely right – I read the “first family” bit in a newspaper some time back and found it a little weird. That’s why I put it in quotes but I think I’m going to take it out of the essay entirely and just refer to the late Amos and Ione as spiritual and/or community leaders. Thank you!

Your impressions of the Owen family were very kind but please note: "Amos and Ion Owen, the “first family” among Lakota community and spiritual elders" Both Amos and Ione were Dakota and they would be horrified to be called the 'first family'. That right belongs to Chief Ernest Wabasha and his lovely wife Vernelle. Just a brief note. Your impressions of the Owen family were very kind but please note:
