Language, attitudes and cultural barriers, led to incomplete or inaccurate census and government records listings. In far too many cases, just a first name for the individual Indian, even if it was just a white name given to the individual by a few white settlers or government agents but never used by the tribes. A lack of understanding of naming traditions also disconnected an individual from their previous records. Families were not always listed together, making it hard to track how many children that each family may have had or what family each belonged to biologically. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>One Indian man has left a bit of a trail for us to get a glimpse of his life.

So far, I find no indication of his Indian name, just what the White residents called him. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>Blind Jim’s tribe traveled through the Blue Mountain region of Oregon/Washington State, settling primarily near the town of Heppner, Morrow County, Oregon area.

She could hear them with their war paint and war hoops riding by their cabin. She was so afraid, she took her little baby girl (Mollie) Mary Elizabeth, 4 months old and hid in the old log corral with a blanket and spent the night.”<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>Melvina and her husband James took the time to learn the Indian language when they moved into the area about 1869.

His ability with his knife was said to be just as good, if not better than a sighted man.

These attitudes were not lost on Blind Jim. To get the best of a bad situation, Blind Jim often used the prejudices of the town’s people against the whites. Today, we look back at Blind Jim and must question who was the more superior, he or the educated, “civilized” settlers. Blind Jim kept his temper, tried to get along with all, white or Indian. He demonstrated respect to the town’s people and tried to respect their laws.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>An example of this comes from an article in the Heppner Gazette dated May 22, 1902. One of his tribe had been arrested. Blind Jim went to visit him in the jail before the trial and was present in the courtroom during the trial. He acted as interpreter for the family of “George”, the Indian on trial. Not only did he visit in jail, but also tracked down the attorney’s and spoke on behalf of his friend to the attorneys and the press. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>Quotes such as the following accompanied the article. “That the Indians have affection for one another and have shown some of the finer sensibilities that belong to the human race has been demonstrated in this case.” and later in the article, “good live Indian”. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>The winter of 1902-03 was very cold for Heppner. Many of the white and Indian ranchers lost their stock. For Blind Jim and his people, who recycled everything, they went into the fields and pulled the wool from the dead sheep they came across. In April, the band loaded up the wool into bags, strapped them to their horses and road into town to sell the wool. They did very well, netting more than $300. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>No one could say that Blind Jim and his tribesmen had not learned from past mistakes. When they brought in the wool in 1903, they would only accept payment in silver or gold. No paper money or credit at the local businesses. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333'>Today, the traces of Blind Jim and his people along with the other tribes that lived in that area for millennia’s are only found along the petroglyphs near The Dells in Washington State along the Columbia River.
