You need to read/post this recent article on...Rob-<br /><br />You need to read/post this recent article on the true identity of James Young Deer. It appeared in the Bright Lights Film Journal May 2013 issue. Young Deer was really James Young Johnson from Washington, DC.

Iron Eyes Cody is one example, but Buffalo Child Long Lance and Mona Darkfeather have all found to be "imposters" and recent articles/books have documented their lives.<br /><br />Winnebago historians have said that Young Deer was not a member of their tribe. Much of his early records are contradictory and he appeared to change identities throughout his life. The latest project points to someone of black/mulatto origin back east, where he started out and married Lillian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
