Kate,
When I did a search on Yahoo, umpteen sites came up for Sharitarish, who was apparently a real Pawnee chief. (Though that may have no connection to the Sharitarish of Cooper's LOTM). I had no luck so far with Ongewesgone, but I'm not sure I'm spelling it right, either. Trying different search engines might bring up more results, too.

Still checking....
MMMM
