There’s a fair amount of romanticizing historical outlaws like Billy the Kid and Jesse James. A fistful of Native Americans like Cherokee Bill, Willie Boy, and Henry Lowry were among the criminals who terrorized citizens on their own or as part of a gang of ne’er-do-wells. Some were lawless marauders out for their own gain. Others were folk heroes who railed against Colonial oppression. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce speaks with Nancy Fields (Lumbee), director and curator at The Museum of the Southeast American Indian; elder John Anderson (Potawatomi), great-grandson of a Bly gang victim and chairman emeritus and director at F&M bank in central Oklahoma; elder Matthew Leivas Sr (Chemehuevi), member of The Cultural Conservancy; and author and historian Art T. Burton.
