Kim Winona part 3

According to my research, it looks like Kim Winona was a name used only for the Brave Eagle series. She called herself Connie Buck before - and then after - she played Morning Star. Her given name was Constance Elaine Mackey, and then Buck was her married name. All film credits, other than Brave Eagle, are under Connie Buck. 
1957, Dec 30 The Cincinnati Enquirer 
She made the following appearances - I believe these are all TV series.

1955 - 1956   Morning Star in Brave Eagle
1956              The Man Called X (as Connie Buck)
1957              Technical adviser
1957              26 Men (had roles in 3 episodes from 1957-58)
1957              Science Fiction Theatre (TV Series)
1958              Cheyenne (TV Series)
1958              The Rough Riders (TV Series)
1959              Northwest Passage (TV Series)
1959              Gunsmoke 
1959              Black Saddle (TV Series)
1959              Rawhide
1960              Bat Masterson (TV Series)
1960              Rawhide
1961              Gun Fight

The following year after Gun Fight, Connie Buck gave birth to her daughter, Migan. In 1973 she had a second daughter, Michelle.  She died on June 23, 1978 of what would be ruled as a self-inflected gunshot wound. Her mother never accepted that ruling, and believed Connie Buck was murdered.

Connie Buck was born in 1930. She died at age 47.

1927 - "We [first Americans].. ask you while you are teaching school children about America first, teach them the truth about the first Americans.

In 1927, the mayor of Chicago, William H Thompson, launched a campaign to "straighten out the affairs of the schools" in Chicago by urging all textbooks to be 100% accurate and pro-American (as opposed to pro-British, he said.) The tagline for project was themed "America First." Scott H. Peters , Chippewa and president of the Grand Council Fire of American Indians  penned a letter to the mayor, asking that indigenous people be included. On December 1, 1927, the delegation presented Mayor Thompson with the following memorial: To the Mayor of Chicago: You tell all the white men "America First." We believe that. We are the first Americans. We are the only ones truly that are 100 per cent. We, therefore, ask you while you are teaching school children about America first, teach them the truth about the first Americans.              We do not know if the school histories are pro-British, but we do know that they are unjust to the life of ou...

1969 Tumbleweeds comic strip: Not everyone finds stereotyped humor funny

Hates Tumbleweeds 1969 Aug 18 Progress Bulletin  Letter to the Editor: Please can you get rid of that tasteless, humorless Tumbleweeds? At least cut out the degrading stereotype of the Indian. I, for one, think it is bad for children to have "Sadistics Class" presented as though sadism were funny. I don't think drunkeness is funny either, nor suitable entertainment for kids. -- Ruth D. Keran, Pimona.  1969 Aug 18 Progress Bulletin  1967 Feb 25 The Indianapolis News  1968 April 5 The San Bernardino County  Tumbleweeds was an American comic strip that offered a skewed perspective on life in the Old West. Writer-artist Tom K.

Indian Image Debunked  UNM Festival Attacks Celluloid Stereotype of Native American  By Tom Jacobs 1982 Feb 15, Albuquerque Journal        Phil Lucas was standing in the Seattle airport waiting for his luggage when a little blond boy, perhaps 8 years old, walked up to him.       "Are you an Indian?" the boy asked.       "Yes," Lucas replied.       "Do you have an arrow?"       "No," he said.       "Do you kill people?"       " No," Lucas said. The boy then turned around and walked away.       Lucas paused and shook his head after recounting the story.       "It's still happening today," he said.       Lucas expressed no animosity toward the youngster. After all, virtually everything the child knows about Indians he probably learned from the movies. And everyone knows that, in the movies, Indians kill ...
