Another gorgeous wedding photo on your feed: Susette La Flesche (Inshata-Theumba, Omaha) wore this skirt and jacket trimmed in hand-stitched silk, satin and lace to marry Thomas Tibbles in July 1881. It's now in @smithsoniannmai.
Raised with Omaha and Western culture, La Flesche was born in present-day Nebraska, into a family descended from significant tribal leaders on both sides.
In 1877, she witnessed the expulsion of the Ponca from Nebraska to Indian Territory and the subsequent imprisonment of Standing Bear and other Poncas who attempted to return to their homeland.
These events launched La Flesche's career as an activist. She visited eastern cities, arguing against the involuntary removal of Native people and for Indian citizenship rights.
Both La Flesche and Tibbles played major roles in the 1879 civil rights decision that ended the Ponca imprisonment and led to the historic ruling, “An Indian is a person within the meaning of the law of the United States.” Their wedding was held on restored Ponca land. #BecauseOfHerStory

fluschegillikin @florencegane My last name is Flusche. We hail from Attendorn, Germany as far back as ~1630 that I've been able to trace it. I'm incredibly intrigued by this lady's last name! From what I've gathered, before being town officials for a few generations, my family probably got the name from doing something with bottles.

florencegane @smithsoniannmai thank you so much for your reply. La Flesche could also be flemmish, but now I’m intrigued about her father, Joseph La Flesche. It could come from the french “arrow” litterally “La Flèche” but not sure.

laurieyatesim If anyone rightfully deserves retribution, it would be the native American Indian whose lives, culture and country were cruelly taken from them. They still suffer to this day.

smithsoniannmai @florencegane Susette’s paternal grandparents were Joseph LaFlesche (ca 1795–?) and Waoowinnchtcha, a French-Canadian fur trader and his wife, a Ponca–Omaha woman.
