I quote... Not my words. I'd love to know where these words came from.

"Chief Eagle Eye, he was Hyas Tyhee or "Big Chief" as he maintained peace relations with all the tribes who came and traded foods and goods in Weiser Idaho. He was an expert diplomat and negotiator who escaped death with his band many times. When the US government found out he joined with the tribes who took flight during the Bannock War, they put out a bounty for his head. He escaped and returned to his homelands in Indian Valley where he spent the last of his life under the name of "Dry Buck." " end quote

wow! that sounds fascinating sir ganjafarmer! But does anyone have information or books written about him? Man, that's a great picture.

Weiser Indians of Idaho and a couple. More. Might make a great story from a master of stories.. Like yourself...
